The Nike Air Force 1 Celebrates New York’s Rich Ghanian Community

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Air Force 1 this year, Nike looks no further than to the streets of NYC for their latest inspiration. New York City is home to thousands of Ghanaian immigrants, many of which have resided in the Big Apple since the 1980s and 1990s.

The offering comes decorated in ornate tapestry with premium leather covered in a colorful palette of red, burgundy, yellow, and rust orange. Highlighting the pair are gold gilded accents giving the silhouette a luxurious look. At the heel, embroideries of “Little Accra” appear in gold to represent an enclave in the Bronx around 167th Street that is a place many Ghanians call home. Adding more spice to the mix are colorful insoles with “Sharing Stories” and Building Community,” followed by golden lace dubraes with Ghanian symbols.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Little Accra” is set to drop August 12, 2022 via SNKRS and select retailers for $140. Make sure to check out the official images below and visit our sneaker release page for more updates on upcoming pairs. Keep it locked at Snkrs Day for more sneaker-related news.
