One of the busiest Air Force 1s Nike ever made is coming back. Per Nice Kicks, the Nike Air Force 1 Low "What The LA" (CT1117-100) returns on Thursday, October 22 via SNKRS and select retailers for $130. It's the shoe's second release after it first dropped in 2019.
The idea hasn't changed: it's a love letter to Los Angeles sports culture told through mismatched colors, mixed materials and details pulled from the city's teams. Officially it's White, Black and Hyper Jade, but that undersells it. You can spot what looks like Lakers purple, a deep blue, a red toe box, a sparkly tan Swoosh, a speckled black midsole and a purple outsole, plus "Los Angeles" script stitched on the heel. Left and right shoes don't match, which is the point.
Our take: "What The" shoes are either your whole personality or your worst nightmare, and the LA pair is a great one because the city's teams actually hand it a color palette worth mashing together. For anyone who missed it in 2019, this is the cleanest second chance you'll get, and $130 for a shoe this loud is still a fair deal. Just don't try to match an outfit to it. The shoe already did that work for you.
At ONENESS: This pair isn't stocked at ONENESS. Our current Nike lineup lives under Nike at ONENESS.
