A few months have passed since Yoon Ahn’s Ambush released its y2k themed Nike Air Adjust collab, and the trailblazing Korean-American designer is already geared up to drop the next chapter of her ongoing relationship with Nike, as she looks to revive the success of her home town inspired Dunks, transmuting the kinetic style onto a selection of Air Force 1’s.

So far, multiple colourways of the shoe have been teased, however, the two that are set to release next week take on equally vibrant palettes which are sure to make a statement in these dreary months.

Arriving in blue and green, both colourways are equipped with a yellow, overhanging tailpipe swoosh, which has been included to emulate the idea of a sneaker on the move, originally inspired by Japanese motorbike culture.

Continuing the innovative updates from the previous Nike Dunk collab, the heel counter showcases an embossed wordmark, with co-branded lace charms and tongue tags providing an additional, subtle twist on the classic features. 

Both colourways of the Ambush x Nike Air Force 1 will be available on Nike SNKRS on December 16th at 3.p.m EST, retailing at $190 each.
