Nike Elevate a Classic With the Brand-New Air Force 1 PLT.AF.ORM

We called it! Platform soles are trending for 2022, so expect to see some brand-new takes on fan-favourite styles. Kicking things off is a new take on the Air Force 1, named the Air Force 1 PLT.AF.ORM. The new women’s-exclusive style celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Air Force 1, and is so far set to come in “Triple White” and “Fossil” colourways.

We’ve seen the classic AF1 get reinvented a few times over the years, from the spliced AF1 Shadow to the elevated AF1 Sage. Bringing in elements of both of these styles, the Air Force 1 PLT.AF.ORM sees the shoe boast a sleek and minimal upper, with a split detail embedded in the stacked sole. Other new details include an in-cut Nike Swoosh at the midfoot, accompanied by an overlayed Swoosh positioned just below. The eyestays and heel overlays both feature an oversized construction with exposed stitching adding extra detailing.

The “Triple White” Air Force 1 PLT.AF.ORM follows the classic all-white AF1 colourway, with the shade taking over the entirety of the shoe. As always, chrome dubraes provide an extra branding hit.

The Air Force 1 PLT.AF.ORM “Fossil” sees the uppers of the shoe take on a beigey coloured “Fossil” shade, which contrasts with the white overlayed Nike Swoosh and crisp white midsole.

Although no release date has been confirmed yet, the PLT.AF.ORM Air Force 1s are expected to drop as part of Nike’s Spring line-up. For now, let us know if you’re feeling the new take over on our Twitter, and download our app to stay up to date with all the latest news and releases.
