Popular clothing brand Ambush has worked with Nike several times over the last few years, on the Nike Air Adjust Force as well as on the Nike Dunk. But the brands latest creation has taken on the Air Force 1, adding a simple yet futuristic take to the sneaker which is bound to grab people’s attention and dominate sneaker headlines in the latter half of February 2023.
What you need to know
A couple of colorways of this Nike Air Force 1 creation have been released in blue and yellow, and green and yellow colorways. But next month we will see the collaboration take on much more traditional colors, coming in black with a white swoosh and white with a black swoosh. Referred to as the Phantom and Black colorways of the model. Most notably, the otherwise leather models feature plastic Swooshes, which extend past the heel of the sneaker – similar to the swooshes on the Ambush Nike Dunk and more recently the Nike LeBron 20. Plastic overlays are also present on the heel of the shoe, and Nike and Ambush’s branding is present on the heel and tongue tab of the sneakers. The Deubrés have also got a futuristic update, swapping out their metal frame for 3D-printed AF1 branding.

Black and white are by far the most popular colors of the Air Force 1, particularly with the all-white Air Force 1 being the standout colorway of the model, outshining all others. And, whilst the all-black pairs have gained a reputation for being worn by criminals and all-around mischievous people, their success and popularity are undeniable. Whilst the previous color-filled Air Force 1s from Ambush fitted their avant-garde style, it’s ultimately the white and black pairs which we shall look to, to find out the full potential of the model.
