Nike has released its first lifestyle sneaker with the Special Field Air Force-1 model inspired by the New York City taxi.
Nike said in a statement, “When Beckham Jr. left his home state of Louisiana for New York in 2014, one of the first things that struck him was the omnipresence of the yellow cab. Fittingly, his debut signature lifestyle shoe, the Special Field Air Force-1 Mid “OBJ,” assumes that familiar color — like the cars, immediately standing out in a crowd.
Other details of the model include a woven label on the tongue showing an “OBJ” word mark. Further OBJ embellishment appear on the shoe’s straps. Nike wrote, “One shares the longitude and latitude of his birth city, Baton Rouge, while the other details those markers for his home field, Metlife Stadium. Nods to his social media bio, position and jersey number are also clear.”
The Special Field Air Force-1 Mid “OBJ” releases November 24 exclusively through SNKRS, Nike stores, Sneakeasy and Foot Locker flagships.
