Nike Auto Force 180 Olympic - Holiday 2009

The Nike Auto Force 180 has made a big splash of late. This new pair hearkens back to the OG colourway that put the Air Force 180 on the map back in 1992. The Nike Auto Force 180 Olympic adds Nike’s signature USA palette of navy blue, red and gold to a white upper. These don’t feature the OG AF180’s Air bubble, so the speckled gradient frame is gone, but the Blazer-like vulcanized sole does well to ground the early 90’s look in the modern aesthetic. Expect these during the Holiday 2009 season, so probably October or November. Click the jump below to see a side-by-side comparison between the Auto Force and AF180. via Leaders1354
