Lil Yachty Debuts The “It’s Us” Air Force 1 In Black And Purple
Though the relationship got off to a muted start with the original white/navy “Us Force 1,” Lil Yachty and Nike have hit their stride in their second chapter, with the patent leather, multi-color sequel one of the biggest secondary market successes of the year. Striking while the iron is hot, Lil Boat debuted a fresh edition of his collab series in splashy fashion, teeing off the Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 in black and purple.
Seen on feet at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival, this colorway lands as almost a midway point between the rapper’s two efforts to date, utilizing the restrained color-blocking of the first pair with taking the vibrant flair of the second, dotting a black foundation with veins of royal purple through the outsole, sock-liner, and branding hits. On that end, the hallmark of the Atlanta artist’s footwear remains, as a “Concrete Boys” stick figure keeps toiling away on the heel counter of this third rendition.
At the time of publication, it’s unclear whether this is an exclusive or public release pair, but if this is the beginning of a rollout, we’ll likely get more details in short order.
