Continuing their patriotic tradition, Nike is releasing something a little more subtle for this year’s Fourth of July. Instead of the traditional red, white, and blue, they will pay homage to Lady Liberty, and have been dubbed the “Preserved Icons.” These Air Force 1s are made of a heat-activated copper hue that changes its colour to green, this mimics the transformation the iconic statue has gone through. These patriotic kicks sport lace jewels that imitates the statue’s torch, while its unique green colouring also appears on the tongue’s branding badge, as well as the star-patterned insoles.
Keep an eye out for these unique colour-changing kicks when they drop on July 4th at select Nike Sportwear stores.
