Nike Air force 1's "Uptowns"

People from all over New York took trips up to Harlem and uptown New York in the ´80s and early ´90s to get their hands on the Nike Air Force 1 – which resulted in their moniker “Uptowns”. While the Diplomats established the term and created several customized versions, Nike finally shows love to the area that made the shoe it is now. The red Nike Air Force 1 features an oversized arrow referencing New York City subway signs and an embroidered “Uptown” on the heel. - Leather upper - Encapsulated Air unit - Rubber outsole
