If it ain't broken, don’t fix it. That's the dictum Supreme has followed with its new collaborative take on Nike's Air Force 1 Low. Originally unveiled in 2020 with the 'black' and 'white' iterations – soon followed by a 'flax' take done up in nubuck (it gave Timberland) – the ongoing collab sees the NYC streetwear label subtly bedeck the quintessential trainer silhouette with coveted Supreme branding, making for a sneak sought-after by hypesters, sneaker collectors and the AF1 superfans alike.
Three years after their debut, Supreme are re-releasing the OG takes as part of the Tremaine Emory-helmed Supreme AW23 collection, as well as a new, very tempting ‘baroque brown’ colourway.
Save for its chocolatey paint job, the ‘baroque brown’ AF1 Low is wholly identical to its predecessors. That means a debossed red BOGO on the heel (which pairs surprisingly well with the shoe's coco hue) and Supreme identification adjoined to the Nike branding on the insole, the tongue label and the metal dubrae. Plus, a set of Supreme-patterned laces, all packed inside a dual-branded box.
Other than that, the Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘baroque brown’ is the same ol' full-grain leather, DURAPLUSH-lined, swoosh-bedecked sneaker you already know and love. And since the sneak is rumoured to be priced at a budget-friendly £95, there's little reason not to try and secure a pair for your autumn rotation before the bots beat you to it.
The Supreme Air Force 1 Low ‘baroque brown’ will be released in-store and online at Supreme in the coming weeks. Check back soon for more information.
