Another year, another Air Force 1 featuring Day of the Dead themes! Right after National Hispanic Heritage Month comes Dia de Los Muertos, another important part of Hispanic culture. Nike celebrates the annual celebration with another Day of the Dead collection. 2022 celebrates Somos Familia, which translates to “We are Family”. With that said, Nike launches the Nike Air Force 1 Low LX “Somos Familia” as part of the “Nike family”.
Nike’s Day of the Dead sneaker pack is always the highlight of November. Cultural motifs honouring the important day of the departed brings family closer to home. This AF1 appears in yet another Dia de Los Muertos colourway, and we’re sure to get more in the next few years!
Popular then and now, the Nike Air Force 1 spans various cultures and generations of sneakerheads. Long before this shoe was New York City’s “Uptown”, the AF1 began its course as a high-top basketball shoe. Its popularity on the court paved the way for other styles such as the Lows soon after, and the Mids by the 90s.
The AF1 features the innovative Nike Air technology as its primary cushioning, making a lot of people happy with its comfort. Newer styles of the shoe combined Zoom and foam cushions like React. But nothing beats the OG.
This Nike Air Force 1 Low LX “Somos Familia” features a Yellow canvas base with Tan suede overlays. Orange and Red hues add to the vibrance of the shoe. Somos Familia logos on the lateral rear panels give the shoe its identity.
An all-black sole unit completes the unique aesthetic of this colourway.
Check it out along with other Somos Familia Nikes this November 2022.
