Nike Air Force 1 Low Clueless Yellow Plaid (W)

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Clueless Yellow Plaid (W) with style code IR5596-900 points straight at the 1995 film Clueless and the yellow plaid suit that became its most recognisable image. The Air Force 1 itself arrived in 1982 as a Bruce Kilgore basketball design and has since become the silhouette these themed builds sit on best. In this women's version the familiar leather upper gives way to plaid textile.

Colorway: Yellow Ochre / Black / White

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Clueless Yellow Plaid (W) is built around panels of yellow plaid textile, with Yellow Ochre as the base and black lines drawing the check. White leather sections on the toe, heel and sole keep the silhouette readable and stop the pattern from taking over the whole shoe. The swoosh runs in contrast along the sidewall in a material that differs from the plaid panels, keeping its shape sharp. Branding on the tongue and heel references the theme. Underfoot the classic AF1 cupsole with visible Air cushioning remains, which keeps the IR5596-900 wearable despite the outspoken upper.

How does the Nike Air Force 1 Low Clueless Yellow Plaid (W) fit?

The Air Force 1 has always run slightly large, so half a size down is the usual advice on this model. The textile panels are more supple than leather, so the shoe gives a little sooner across the forefoot. If you are unsure or have wider feet, stay with your normal size on the IR5596-900.
