After successfully launching their minimalist, predominantly white Air Force 1 Low, Yachty and his Concrete Boys collective are officially expanding their Nike catalog. This time, the \u201cIt\u2019s Us\u201d crew is tackling the classic Nike Air Force 1 Mid, injecting the mid-cut silhouette with an unapologetically bold \u201cBlue\/Red\u201d colorway that demands attention.<\/p>\n<p>First seen worn by @wor1dwidew3s on Instagram, the Concrete Boys x Nike Air Force 1 Mid \u201cBlue\/Red\u201d intentionally trades the subtle, everyday wearability of its predecessor for a striking, high-contrast aesthetic. The sneaker\u2019s upper is constructed from premium leather, featuring deep blue overlays that wrap around a vibrant red base.

Additionally, the group\u2019s famed \u201cIt\u2019s Us\u201d slogan will likely be featured across the insoles and custom packaging, cementing the collective\u2019s distinct identity onto the iconic Swoosh silhouette.

After successfully launching their minimalist, predominantly white Air Force 1 Low, Yachty and his Concrete Boys collective are officially expanding their Nike catalog. This time, the \u201cIt\u2019s Us\u201d crew is tackling the classic Nike Air Force 1 Mid, injecting the mid-cut silhouette with an unapologetically bold \u201cBlue\/Red\u201d colorway that demands attention.<\/p>\n<p>First seen worn by @wor1dwidew3s on Instagram, the Concrete Boys x Nike Air Force 1 Mid \u201cBlue\/Red\u201d intentionally trades the subtle, everyday wearability of its predecessor for a striking, high-contrast aesthetic. The sneaker\u2019s upper is constructed from premium leather, featuring deep blue overlays that wrap around a vibrant red base. The mid-top\u2019s signature adjustable ankle strap ensures a secure lockdown while providing additional real estate for custom collaborative detailing.\n<\/p>\n<p>As expected from any Concrete Boys release, the unique crew branding is a major focal point. Fans can expect the collective\u2019s signature stick-figure mascot to make a prominent appearance, traditionally stamped onto the lateral heel. Additionally, the group\u2019s famed \u201cIt\u2019s Us\u201d slogan will likely be featured across the insoles and custom packaging, cementing the collective\u2019s distinct identity onto the iconic Swoosh silhouette.
