The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low in Navy / Black takes the Air Force 1 and makes it skateable. It's the same silhouette that's been on the block since 1982, now with a thicker padded collar, a sturdier build around the heel, and the original AF1 cupsole underneath. It still looks like an Air Force 1, it just holds up when you actually skate it. This pair is all navy nubuck with black on the Swoosh, heel tab, and midsole, dark enough to hide scuffs and clean enough to wear out after the session.
