After releasing exclusively in Asia back in 1996, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Ivory Snake is set to make its return 23 years later. Dressed in a White, Elemental Gold, Dark Hazel, and Black color scheme. The pair features the heavily textural fabrication from the profile swoosh over to the heel counter, which sports subtle blacked-out branding embroidery. White leather comprises the rest of the construction, allowing its motif to shine uninhibited, with a black tongue tab furthering the connection to the more than two decade old original.
