It’s important to give people their flowers while they’re still here to smell them. The same logic applies to sneakers as well.

Specifically, the Air Force 1 sneaker which deserves a whole garden for just how much it’s done for footwear culture across the board.

That’s part of what makes this florally flat sneaker so stunning. See, while Air Force 1 sneakers are wildly categorized as one of the greatest footwear inventions of all time, blacked-out iterations don’t get the same love.

Inky Air Force 1 sneakers are, no pun intended, the black sheep of the Air Force 1 universe. Add some lovely florals to the mix, though, and decades of stigmatization gets turned on its head. Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses — then put them on your sneakers.
