We love experimental kicks, we really do. Don’t get us wrong though, we love classic sneakers and OG colorways. However, it never hurts when big sneaker brands like Nike go off and serve new looks. And this time, we have one of the most classic kicks, in a brand new colorway. You see, the Nike Air Force 1 never goes out of style, and new drops are always welcome! So, today, we’re gonna check out the Air Force 1 Vanta Black. It’s not just black, it’s the darkest black you’ll ever see! Now, let’s dive into this exciting drop, shall we?
Vanta Black – Lack of Colors Never Looked So Good!
Before we talk about the shoe itself, let’s talk about the color because it’s pretty interesting by itself. In 2014, Surrey Nanosystems developed what they called the blackest black color. That pigment could absorb up to 99.965% of visible light. But that didn’t go without its own share of controversy. You see, in 2016, artist Anish Kapoor bought the exclusive rights to use Vantablack in his artwork! Of course, that didn’t go without a ton of backlash.
Now, although the pigment is very dark, it’s not the darkest on the market anymore. In 2019, MIT developed a material that actually absorbs 99.995% of light. Might sound like not much of a difference, but it is in the art and science world. And now, the Vantablack will make a comeback, but on the iconic Air Force 1!
Nike Air Force 1 Vanta Black Is a Must-have This Winter
So, just when you thought your classic AF1 Triple Black had personality, it just pales next to this! The new Air Force 1 Vanta Black will feature a pitch-black upper, making it the darkest colorway on a pair of kicks so far. In fact, it’s so dark that it makes the regular black on the sole unit look like it’s dark grey! While it’s a simple colorway, it’s definitely gonna turn some heads when you rock it. So, the question here is, how can you score these babies for retail?
Well, according to rumors, we can expect the kicks to land on Nike SNKRS before the end of the year. It will retail for $135 and will be worth every penny because they kinda look dope. And if you wanna beat the competition when drop day rolls around, we got you. All you need is to get yourself an all-in-one sneaker bot like NSB3. That way you will increase your odds of catching Ws on multiple sites simultaneously. So, go on and get your NSB3 copy today to get started ASAP. Godspeed!
