Nike Sets Loose Air Force 1 "White Tiger"
A salute to South Korea’s national soccer team.
by Charlie Zhang
Nike has unveiled a brand new iteration of its Air Force 1. Following its tiger-striped Air Presto “Korea” seen near the start of the month, the footwear giant has crafted yet another nod to South Korea’s national soccer team, Taegeuk Warriors, this time emblazoning the thematic print over the classic silhouette.
Starting at the top of the shoe is a sizable tongue tag etched with the soccer team’s crest. Much of the shoe’s uppers boast crisp white leather, bringing out a flurry of colorfully accented details. The left foot is embellished with pink highlights in the form of laces, a panel under the main Swoosh and a semi-translucent outsole; the right foot, in contrast, sports light blue highlights. Furthermore, South Korea’s Taegeukgi symbol is stamped at the heel counter, complemented by a bold tiger-striped Swoosh at the sidewalls to complete the patriotic design.
Nike’s Air Force 1 “White Tiger” is currently available on atmos’ website for $130 USD.
