Yesterday, Nike held their second SNKRS Showcase event, taking to their livestream platform on the SNKRS app to unveil a wide range of upcoming new releases and retro. Among the latter category, the hosts showed off a few pairs of the Air Force 1, including a rerelease of the early-2000s “Escape” pair, set to release in Spring 2025.
Nike’s releases in the early 2000s cemented their legacy as the biggest name in the world of sneaker collection. The brand experimented with a wide variety of special-edition releases, even pioneering the modern-day collaboration through a project with Stüssy in 2000. Among their early releases was the “Escape” series in 2003, featuring pairs of the Huarache, Mowabb, Air Trainer, and Air Force 1 in colorways inspired by a getaway to the outdoors. While some pairs from the project have seen rereleases in recent years, the crown jewel of the collection is the Bison Brown pair of the Air Force 1, which is now set to return in Spring 2025.
The “Escape” pair of the Air Force 1 is finally getting a retro release next year. Twenty-one years after its debut, the shoe is regarded amongst the best lifestyle releases for the classic basketball shoe, and Nike is giving their all to the clean color scheme for its return. The leather base layer comes in white with perforations for the toe box and midfoot panels, adding two shades of brown for the nubuck overlays around the toes and heels. Black Swooshes and inner linings balance out the palette, while red Nike branding and a gold lace jewel complete the look.
