Is the Air Force 1 Low the definitive Nike sneaker? Whether you agree with that assertion or argue that alternatives like the Dunk Low compete effectively, the AF1 seldom remains out of the limelight for extended periods.

Similarly, despite earlier commitments this year to reduce the production of iconic models, a continuous influx of fresh colorways has persisted throughout the entire year. As we transition into autumn, the Nike Air Force 1 Low emerges with a lively color scheme suited for the season, dressed in naturalistic “Malachite.”

This iteration of the AF1 highlights material adaptability once more, dividing its upper with resilient nylon as the foundational layer and textured suede positioned above. Nevertheless, there is no visual separation, as the entire upper is adorned in the striking “Malachite” emerald.

On the outsole, the aesthetic is quite traditional, featuring your standard pristine white midsole paired with a translucent rubber sole beneath. A shimmering dubrae and gold accents on the tongue & heel branding complete the composition.

Although it may be a touch more ostentatious than your typical Autumn offerings, this “Malachite” Air Force 1 is well-suited for any fall ensemble you showcase in the upcoming months, providing a bit more style than usual as we all start to “dress up.”

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Malachite” is set to launch on Nike.com and at select retailers in the upcoming weeks, with a retail price of $120 upon its release.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
