Nike Air Force 1 Low SP Slam Jam White

Nike Air Force 1 Low SP Slam Jam White - DX5590-100

Founded by Luca Benini back in 1989, Slam Jam is much more than just a retailer. Over the course of the last decade, they’ve teamed up with a variety of sneaker brands, such as Vans, New Balance, Salomon, and, of course, Nike. And following their Dunk High collaboration in 2020, Benini and team are once again joining the Swoosh, this time in honor of the Air Force 1’s 40th Anniversary. Similar to their prior work with the brand, Slam Jam’s take on the Air Force 1 is akin to chop and screw. Prepared in both a black and white colorway, the collaboration adds and remixes the classic’s core construction. Alongside replacing the mid-panel with mesh — a detail not unlike the shoe’s original appearance in 1982 — they’ve tweaked the design’s perforated toe box, heel tab, and lace unit. In order, the perforations have been rearranged in the shape of the Slam Jam logo, the rear-placed “Nike Air” has been flipped upside-down, and the laces have been given an additional, intertwined set of strings.
