There have been some pretty iconic colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 Low over the years. Of course, this shoe originally debuted all the way back in 1982 thanks to the infamous triple-white colorway. It was the first silhouette to ever receive a retro from Nike and over the years, it has become one of the most classic sneakers in the history of footwear. Perhaps one of the most fondly remembered colorways is the "Puerto Rico" model which dropped all the way back in the year 2000.
Fans have been dying for this shoe to make a comeback and in 2020, that's exactly what's happening. The OG version is set to return and as you can see from the official images below, it stays true to the original. There is a white leather upper with navy blue accents on the outsole and back heel all while the Puerto Rican flag appears on the tongue and side panel near the back heel. From there, we have a coqui frog caricature on the insole.
For now, it seems as though a North American release has yet to be determined although you can scoop these up overseas as of June 26th. Let us know in the comments below whether or not you plan on copping.
