After learning last month that Nike would be releasing a dressy new Air Force 1 in black patent leather, it’s only right that the model’s triple-white counterpart is getting in on the action.

Nike released Monday the aforementioned triple-black style alongside an all-white Air Force 1 in a matching material. The upper of the just-released pair is constructed with a crisp white patent leather, making the look hard to top for spring and summer wear.

The new release isn’t the first time Nike has issued a triple-white Air Force 1 Low in patent leather. A near-exact match pair was released in 1996 with a similar style following in 2013. However, the upcoming launch marks the first time in more than a decade that the patent leather colorway has been available at retail.

Patent leather Air Force 1s are having a moment among sneaker enthusiasts driven by colorful, nostalgic looks reminiscent of A Bathing Ape’s popular 2000s Bape Sta colorways. Fittingly, Nike has also tapped Bape founder Nigo and Undercover founder Jun Takahashi for a new “LO2” Air Force 1 Low decked out in navy patent leather that’s set to be released in May.

Aside from the patent pairs, other recent Air Force 1s of note include a new LeBon James “Beijing” colorway, a cow print-patterned look and several flower-themed iterations. The timeless sneaker also received a skate-ready upgrade courtesy of Nike SB.
