Nike Air Force 270 Olympic

The Nike Air Force 270 Olympic pays homage to the Dream Team, a squad that dominated the 1992 basketball Olympics, by blending navy blue and red accents inspired by the games’ theme.

Obsidian-colored suede perforated upper marks the start of the solid build present on the Air Force 270. A gym red midfoot strap runs across the vamp, exposing a metallic gold slide adjuster. The quarter panels have overlays, with a textile underlay with gym red stitching laying the foundation for a synthetic cover and a suede finish. An intricate lacing system is also present, drawing from the overlay on the quarters and reinforcement walling on the ankles. The sole starts as white foam but transforms to a navy blue hue at the heel, exposing the Air Max unit.

What makes the Nike Air Force 270 Olympic stand out? We love the gold hues on the midfoot strap, swooshes on the ankles, and embossed branding on the heel pull tab. Nike released this sneaker on June 20th, 2018, with a $160 retail price.
