A perfect blend of old-meets-new, the Nike SB AF1 x Yuto takes the legendary hoops shoe from '82 and retools it for skateboarding, with a tasteful Yuto spin. Tapping into the iconic sneaker's history, the leather upper, mesh quarter panels and Washed Coral midsole combine with a Light Bone leather upper and Iron Grey accents for an aged aesthetic and vintage appeal. An encapsulated Nike Air heel unit stays true to the original hoops shoe and helps provide cushioning through your entire skate sesh and beyond. The Yuto design includes several personal touches, including his cross-feather family crest logo on the outer heel, his lucky number 7 on the heel tab, "Yuto Horigome" printed on the Nike SB tongue label and custom Yuto sockliners. An antique finish on the lace dubrae brings home the throwback design.
Overview
The Nike SB Air Force 1 takes the legendary 1980s basketball silhouette and adapts it for the heavy demands of modern skateboarding. This retooled classic features a premium leather upper that offers increased flexibility, paired with a plush, padded collar for essential ankle protection during high-impact sessions. By maintaining its low-profile heritage while integrating modern cushioning, it delivers a timeless aesthetic that performs just as well at the skatepark as it does on the street.

Features
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Low-Profile Design - Designed for an anatomically correct fit for responsiveness and all-day comfort.
Perforations at Side - The perforations on the side of the shoe allows moisture and heat to escape providing a more comfortable wearing experience.
