Following AMBUSH’s collaboration with Nike, the brand helmed by Yoon Ahn is finally dropping its much-awaited Converse drop.

Nike Air Force 1 “Day Of The Dead”
Nike
Release Date: October 15
Release Price: $100 USD, available at Nike.com and retailers like Sneakersnstuff
As the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos approaches on November 2, Nike has teased its Air Force 1 silhouette that’s inspired by the traditional event. The signature white upper remains but is contrasted by binding in shades of yellow, pink, blue and green. There’s a pink and black grid print on the tongue, a black leather patch with white Nike branding on the heel and a sugar skull emblem on the insole but the real surprise becomes visible in the dark. It’s then that a reflective, intricate skull pattern becomes visible across the sidewall and Swoosh – these are ideal for those looking for sneakers with an extra-special twist.
