If you hadn’t heard already, the iconic Air Force 1 is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and what better way to celebrate than to give it a bit of a birthday glow-up? Nike have recently unveiled the seriously luxe-looking Air Force 1 Craft “Beige Gum,” and it’s safe to say, it’s a must-cop for us!

Arriving decked out in premium materials and a stunning neutral colourway, the “Beige Gum” AF1 Craft is an AF1 collection must-have. Beige-coloured tumbled leather uppers dress the base, whilst the Nike Swoosh appears in a cream-coloured soft and fluffy suede for a super-premium feel. The same suede can also be seen on the heel tab, which omits the usual Nike branding for a more minimalist plain panel. Instead, a tiny pink leather branded tab peeks out from below.

Elsewhere, a creamy coloured tongue tab adds an extra eye-catching detail, and matching cream laces tie the pair together. The “Beige Gum” Air Force 1s are finished with a crisp white AF1 midsole, which comes topped with a “Gum” outsole to complete the colourway.

Sure, the “Beige Gum” Nike Air Force 1 Craft is just one of the special-edition AF1s that will drop this year, but it’s already up there as one of our favourites. We’re still awaiting an official release date for the sneaker, but be sure to keep it locked as we’ll be the first to let you know when we hear more!

Up next, the Dunk Low appears in "Coconut Milk."
