This is a "Special Project" sneaker, constructed with premium materials in the Nike lab and is part of a signature collaboration between Nike and the label 1017 ALYX 9SM, designed by Matthew Williams. It boasts several of his signature design elements, including contrasting formal and informal features. The sneaker applies premium tumbled leather to the sports-inspired Air Force 1 low. The all-white construction is a nod to Matthew Williams. Co-branding can be found on the insole, while subtle ALYX branding can be found throughout the shoe. For example, a metal tab with ‘ALYX’ graces the laces and ‘1017 ALYX 9SM’ is printed across the side panel. The midsole and outsole are also all-white. This model was launched on December 15th, 2023, and originally sold for $155. Closure: lacing. Toe type: round toe. Heel type: flat heel.
