Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 LV8 Femme ‘Ridgerock’ Release Date IR5690-256

Nike’s soon-to-be-reissued Sprint Sister model isn’t the only sneaker in the brand’s archive that’s getting a double-laced makeover exclusively for women. 

Also in line for the whimsical makeover is the timeless Nike Air Force 1 model. The upcoming Ridgerock/Vast Gray/Ocean Cube/Sail colorway features a dual-shoelace setup similar to what was seen on the Sprint Sister, although instead of four different lace looks, the Air Force 1 includes matching sets across the left and right shoe.

The brown leather shoes also feature a cutout pattern in snowflake shapes across the toe box and quarter panel, a detail which is seen only on the Swoosh on the aforementioned Sprint Sister model. The look is finished off with a gray suede Swoosh, a darker brown midsole and a milky opaque rubber outsole. 

Nike’s Air Force 1 is one of its most versatile and chameleon-like sneakers. Over the years, the brand has given the sneaker countless updates including coveted collaborations and special limited-edition variations. The Air Force 1 was designed by Bruce Kilgore and was first released in 1982 as a performance basketball sneaker. Nike has frequently referred to the model as its best-selling sneaker.

Given this Air Force 1’s connection to the aforementioned Sprint Sister, it’s possible that the two-lace look will appear on even more upcoming women’s-exclusive models. The lesser-seen Sprint Sister was originally a 1970s track shoe and was first reissued in the late 2000s, yet remains a somewhat obscure Nike sneaker today.

This Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 LV8 Femme is set for a global release from nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers soon, but it’s already available from select overseas stockists including India’s Super Kicks. The pair will be available in women’s sizing and its style code is IR5690-256.
