If Air Force 1 could ever be broken off like a piece of chocolate, this would be the color. Nike's latest Air Force 1 comes dressed head-to-toe in a deep, monochromatic brown, with buttery leather uppers finished off by metallic gold Swooshes and branding. The tone alone is enough to conjure up images of Willy Wonka's factory and those gold-foil-wrapped chocolate bars. Nike's calling this one "Mystic Dates."
Let's get one thing straight first: this isn't an official collaboration between Nike and the Willy Wonka Candy Company — the colorway just happens to hit the same notes. Nike has done the real deal before, crafting an ultra-limited Dunk for Timothée Chalamet tied to the Wonka movie, given away to lucky fans through an online raffle with a rarity level that put it out of reach for most people.
"Mystic Dates" Air Force 1 takes a completely different approach: accessible and easy to cop. The shoe has already landed on select overseas Nike websites, retailing for around $105, with a black-and-white colorway also available in the same lineup — no raffle required.
