Nike Air Alpha Force

[rainking]

IDK.. its not bad but they look like they'll be cardboard and lumpy. This is a sleek shoe that deserves Air Ship materials for it to make sense.

I hear ya. I don’t expect great leather. I just meant that at least the toes don’t look like boxes and the overall shoe doesn’t look bad in those images.

Yuuup.. I know exactly what you mean bro .. it just might not be good enough for me. But we'll see. Could've been worse.

Dammit, I was hoping for a late Spring release.

Hopefully it’s not like the leather on the 2008 ultra force retro. If anything I’m just hoping it won’t be a limited drop, or super hyped up drop where I can’t even get my hands on them for retail lol.

Wrong shoe. That’s the Alpha Force 2. I had the pair that retroed in like 2004, I wanna say. The pair there without any logos embroidered on the heel sides. Ended up barely wearing them but they’re cool. Just not as cool as the 1.

 

[carlofromdapi]

YES!!

Excited to get these!

It's so crazy and random for me to learn in retrospect that Shawn Kemp wore Nike in the early stages of his NBA career because I will always remember him wearing Reebok when he was at the apex of his career with the Sonics in the '90s. But I believe he no longer wore Reebok in the latter stage of his career after the 1997-98 season when he declined badly.

Billie Eilish?

In my mind, what I'd like to think happened:

Billie Eilish, banging on a corporate Beaverton table, "You WILL bring back the Alpha Force 88! The real heads want it!!!! If you want my name on any other Nike merchandise, you will do ME THIS SERVICE!!!"

In reality, what probably happened:

"Yo Billie Nike called and they wanna bring back this obscure model that most people don't even remember, but like they could be trendy and we could throw your name on them if you're cool with it...."

 

[singer10]

Ugh. Maybe put her name on the insoles of some Air Force Vs(high and low), Air Revolutions, and many other early 90s Nike basketball silhouettes, too.
I guess since this is a collab, the price will be around $140-$160?

 

[da hen]

So IN baby

These, Revolution, AF3….bring them all

LFG

 

[OGponson]

Any ogs getting copped

 

[RyGuy45]

Let's all band together and pass on this name alone

 

[ta2and0]

Ummm…, other than the insole w/ Billie Eillish logo, can’t find the difference between the one whose pix were shown on the various news sites such as Sneakernews or SBD (supposed to be SP) while back… Oh, the top of the tongue seems different… So…, Nike changed it from “AIR” to “AAF88” while putting some insole w/ her logo on it and call them as collab???

[Magic33]

Billie Ellish?

What?

Isn't she supposed to be vegan?

 

[appleheaddmv]

joints look good to me

 

[singer10]

Not a deal breaker for me as I bought both pairs of Air Revolutions in '13 with Air Revolution plastered on the tongues, but they couldn't put Air Alpha above FORCE on the tongues, like they did the OGs?

AAF88.

Hasn’t it been reported multiple OG colorways are dropping? Is Nike doing this utter nonsense with them all?
