Nike Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit Black Volt DM0590-002

The Nike Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit Black Volt is a newer Nike sneaker, which is now available under the "Nike, Inc." umbrella. The Nike Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit has been spotted in a new "Black/Volt" colourway ahead of summer, indicating that it may be gaining traction. While rooted in Bruce Kilgore's 1982 design DNA, the following version updates the upper and sole units for practical and aesthetic purposes.

The Nike Air Force 1 Crater Flyknit's uppers are now constructed with a black Flyknit weave, and it is perforated for breathability in traditional Swoosh fashion. The lacing system has also been reconfigured, as it now follows a strapless design that is held down by Flywire cables. Underfoot, the midsoles are now made with Nike's "Crater" foam, which is designed to be durable and comfortable. Finally, the outsole features a black and volt rubber tread for added contrast.

The Air Force 1's knit upper may allude to the iguana's camouflage-ready body, given the graphic of the reptile on the sock liners pattern. The Greater Foam midsole advances Swoosh's "Move to Zero" sustainability campaign by upcycling manufacturing floor leftovers, while the Knit construction at the top allows for greater breathability. The Knit upper might allude to the iguana's camouflage-ready body owing to its pattern, which features abstract patterns. The sneaker's colour scheme and insole patterns allude to a spring or summer release, but they also hint at the possibility of a larger Nike Sportswear Collection with similar details. There has been no official word from the brand on a Nike.com launch yet, although that will likely change soon. While you wait, check out official photographs of the pair.
