The insoles also play on this aesthetic: orange on the left shoe, purple on the right, and they both have a large 'BETRUE' graphic across.įamiliar feel, plus a great cause - If you've ever worn a pair of Air Force 1s, you'll feel right at home with these. Personally, what I love the most is the shiny swoosh, which also features serrated accents that give the BeTrue AF1 a delicate pop and the essence of an unfinished, raw design – similar to what Nike does with its hyped Off-White Jordan sneakers. Put together, these details make the $120 sneaker feel premium - all without spoiling the simplicity of the Air Force 1. Additionally, you'll find a holographic Nike swoosh, Air logos that incorporate LGBTQIA+ accents throughout, a super soft tumbled leather, and decorative perforations that aren't typically found on the original Air Force 1 low. In its BeTrue edition, the AF1 is colorful yet subtle, featuring a 10-color, embroidered heel mark with the more inclusive LGBTQIA+ flag, including the expanded black and brown stripes that represent contributions from people of color to LGBTQ equality. Colors for days - A staple in sneaker culture, the Air Force 1 was a long-awaited addition to the Nike's Pride capsule, an initiative that began in 2012.
