Original Story (12/29/24): Lil Yachty and Nike are dropping a second colorway of the “Concrete Boys” Air Force 1.
The Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 is set to return in a Lucky Green, Mystic Red, and University Gold color scheme, the same colorway that Boat debuted during his 2024 Coachella performance back in April. The collaboration is officially called the Us Force 1, a play on the title of the 2024 Concrete Boys album It’s Us Vol. 1.
There is a stark difference in the aesthetic between this upcoming colorway and the first colorway released in 2024. The minimalist white/navy pair drew inspiration from promo Air Force 1s that Nike made for artist-run music labels in the 2000s (such as Roc-A-Fella, Terror Squad, and Shady Records). These AF-1s typically featured all-white uppers with the record label’s logo on the lateral heel, a formula that Yachty recreated in his first Nike collab to pay tribute to those who came before him.
The 2000s was also when NIGO was dropping patent leather BAPE STAs in bright, bold colors. This second “Concrete Boys” Air Force 1 appears to pay homage to the Japanese designer. Yachty even used this AF-1 to recreate an old photo of NIGO staring at a pair of BAPE STAs.
This second colorway of the Lil Yachty x Nike Us Force 1 is set to drop in Summer 2025 on SNKRS and at select retailers. Grab a preview below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
