Approximately two decades ago, Nike embarked on a unique venture by producing limited-edition Air Force 1s under the “Terror Squad” brand in collaboration with rapper Fat Joe. Originally intended exclusively for friends and family, these shoes remained out of the public’s reach. However, due to an unfortunate incident where a former member of Fat Joe’s team sold a few pairs, they became highly coveted among enthusiasts. Acquiring them became a daunting task, often requiring significant connections or substantial financial investment. This scenario underwent a transformation in the recent spring season, as the “Terror Squad” Air Force 1s made their retail debut, making them accessible to a wider audience.
After a span of nearly two decades, Nike finally plan to introduce the designs to the public. The release date is set to take place this summer. Until then, we can expect Nike to drop some subtle hints of the pairs public release, starting with this AF1 dressed in an almost-identical colour scheme. The combination of black overlays against a vibrant white base creates a visually striking contrast. Noteworthy deviations from conventional expectations can be observed in the Swoosh design element, while other elements evoke a sense of familiarity reminiscent of the Panda Dunk Low.
Nike Air Force 1 ’07 “Black/White/Black” is available online and store.
