Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Yuto Horigome White Iron Grey
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Yuto Horigome White Iron Grey with style code IO8439-100 is the skate build of the Air Force 1, made around Nike SB rider Yuto Horigome. The Air Force 1 arrived in 1982 as a Bruce Kilgore basketball design and went on to become the most worn silhouette on the street. In this SB version the model is adapted for skateboarding, with a construction tuned for wear and board feel rather than the court.
Colorway: White / Coconut Milk / Iron Grey
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Yuto Horigome White Iron Grey sits on a white leather upper with Coconut Milk supplying a softer off-white undertone across the panels. Iron Grey lands on the swoosh and through the detailing as the only real contrast, which keeps the pair restrained and easy to wear. Extra stitching and reinforcement in the places skate shoes wear through first are clearly visible in the build and form the biggest departure from a standard AF1. Personal detailing from Yuto Horigome is worked into the tongue and heel branding. Underfoot the familiar AF1 cupsole remains, here tuned for more grip, which makes the IO8439-100 both usable on a board and wearable on the street.
How does the Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Yuto Horigome White Iron Grey fit?
The Air Force 1 has always run slightly large, so going half a size down is often the best advice. The extra padding and reinforcement on this SB build do fill the shoe out more than a standard AF1. If you are unsure, stay with your normal size on the IO8439-100.
