The new Air Force 1 comes with a color code of Sail/Jade Horizon-Light Bone-University Red. We see the base of the sneaker and uppers sport Sail and Light Bone, accompanied by the Jade Nike Swoosh and back heel tab. We see red contrast stitching along the Swoosh to match the red snakeskin Nike Air tab on the tongue.
The hallmark features of the sneakers has to be the traditional Chinese snake patterning embossed into the back heel panels. It gives the shoe a further boost in terms of premium quality, enforced by the gold lace dubraes and the traditional Chinese hang tag.
The Nike Air Force 1 “Year of the Dragon” is set to release sometime during Spring 2025 with a rumored release date in March. Expect to see these for a standard retail tag of $130 as they'll see a public release through Nike SNKRS app and select Nike retailers.
