The Nike Air Force 1 "Hangul" Pays Homage to the Korean Alphabet

Now that the Tokyo Olympics 2021 has come to a close, Nike is departing the Land of the Rising Sun and heading over to the Land of the Morning Calm to bring forth Korea-themed exclusive trainers. In addition to the Nike Dunk Low "Seoul South Korea" we introduced back in May, we now have a closer look at the Nike Air Force 1 "Hangul" that will be joining the lineup! And we are just as excited as you are, so why don't you stop dancing to BTS' latest single right now or pause the K-drama you're watching and read on instead to find out this offering's standout features.

When Bruce Kilgore introduced the Air Force 1 in 1982, the silhouette instantly amassed an insane level of hype for its contemporary looks and unmatched cushioning—and it's no surprise why it remains a shoedrobe staple up to this day.

Debuting with a low-top profile and sail-tinted upper that delivers a vintage-esque look, this AF1 Low boasts Hangul text that reads "keu-nyang-hae" which translates to "Just Do It" in English by way of thick embroidery on the quarter panels and toe boxes. While the model keeps its OG features like the Nike Air-branded tongues and heels, the Beaverton sportswear powerhouse emphasises the commemorative scheme via the Obangsaek on the heel strip (the traditional Korean colour spectrum) and across other regions of the basketball-slash-lifestyle Nike shoes.

An official release date for the Nike Air Force 1 "Hangul" is yet to be confirmed, but rumour has it that they'll be available on the 9th of October—the day the Korean alphabet was born.
