Technical add-ons: Undercover reinforced the classic b-ball silhouette with a single booty construction and a TPU heel cage. This gives the sneaker a techwear vibe with a construction reminiscent of the Nike Huarache.
The Undercover x Air Force 1 will come in three distinct colorways. Of the three, only one sports a full graphic print, but the other two seem to be references to classic Nike colors. One comes in the fan-favorite triple white colorway while the other is sports a purple, yellow, grey and black colorway that is reminiscent of Nike’s ACG line.

Branding is incredibly minimal on this collab sneaker. The “U” Undercover logo makes a small appearance on the heel of the sneaker.
This muted approach to design is unlike Undercover’s next sneaker collaboration with Nike based on the ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 2.
