NBA Nike Air Force 1 EMB Lakers White DC8874-101

All the amazing releases so far from the Swoosh AF 1 team might make you wonder if the label’s Diamond Jubilee celebration has already started. But this particular NBA Nike Air Force 1 EMB Lakers White drops flaunting the Los Angeles Lakers’ vibes with the purple tones. However, the golden yellow accents are missing for now. Instead of golden yellow, this shoe comes in purple, blue, and white, making it ready for everyday outfits and activities. But what’s the reason for this change?

No need to be a sports or basketball fan to know what’s going on in the NBA world. All you need to be is a regular in the sneaker tracks, specifically, a regular Nike Swoosh trainer fan. Like previous records, the Air Force 1 team is joining the NBA collabs with a nod to the iconic LA Lakers. And on top of that, this silo will come with an “Embroidery” or EMB feature too. The colours draw fuel from the team’s past and present glory. How do you think that works? We’ll explain here soon. Before that, follow us on FastSoleUK.

As you can see, the colour combination doesn’t include the golden yellow accents that we are used to seeing when it comes to Los Angeles Lakers’ themes. The reason this Air Force 1 ignores the yellow tones and adds cobalt blue instead is simple. If you know a thing or two about LA Lakers, you will understand. The blue accents are a throwback to the team’s original colour scheme many years ago. Let’s see how it looks.

First of all, the cobalt blue tones come back from the vintage LA Lakers’ times and paint this shoe’s inner lining, eyelet,s collar counter, and outsole. This blue tone is warm and fuzzy enough to make it fit your autumn fashion perfectly. On the other hand, the current popular shade from LA Lakers’, the dark purple shade, paints the sidewall layer, branding on the collar, and foxing. So, the rest of this shoe stays crisp white, including the Nike Swoosh, midsole, laces, and tongue tab. The silver metallic deubre on the midfoot adds a little spice to the theme.

You will spot the tongue tab showing off a blue basketball player silhouette and the 75th-anniversary embroidery. Finally, the purple L embroidery on the heel and a purple Nike Swoosh on the medial wall finish it off.

NBA Nike Air Force 1 EMB Lakers White will release on October 8th via listed UK and European retailers.
