So, like, have you heard about the latest Nike release that has everyone scratching their heads? Apparently, Nike is dropping a pair of sneakers for a whopping $130 that come out of the box looking all scuffed up and dirty. Yeah, you read that right. People are supposed to pay top dollar for shoes that look like they’ve been through the wringer already.
The new dotSWOOSH x Nike Air Force 1 Low Dirty Triple Whites are causing quite a stir among loyal Nike fans. According to the brand, these pre-soiled shoes are designed to get cleaner as you wear them. It’s like magic, but with sneakers. The dirtiness is just a “scratch-away texture” that will eventually wear off, leaving your shoes looking fresh and clean.
And get this, even the insides of the shoe are made to look like they’ve been worn by someone else. It’s all part of the design, apparently. The stained collar, torn eyelets, and loose threads underneath the iconic Nike Swoosh are meant to give these shoes a unique vintage look. Oh, and the laces are designed to wear with light exposure, adding to that worn-in vibe.
But wait, there’s more. If you can’t wait for your shoes to naturally clean up, Nike is providing a brush for those who want to speed up the process. Because, you know, who has time to wait for their shoes to look presentable?
The official release date for these “time machine” shoes is May 7, and they will be available on Nike’s SNKRS app. Alongside the Dirty Triple White, Nike is also dropping the Triple Triple Black Air Force 1 Lows, which are said to get even darker the more you wear them. It’s like a science experiment for your feet.
People on social media are going wild over these new kicks. One person even called them a “real meme shoe.” Some are saying the shoes look like they’ve been stomped on and worn for months, while others are joking that they might already have a pair or ten of dirty AF1s in their closet.
In an early preview, Complex shared on Instagram that the shoes look “filthy brand new out of the box.” It’s a bold move by Nike, that’s for sure. But hey, maybe that’s the future of fashion in 2025. Who am I to judge?
So, if you’re in the market for some sneakers that come pre-dirtied and ready to wear, mark your calendars for May 7. Nike is taking us on a wild ride with these Dirty Triple Whites, so buckle up and enjoy it while it lasts.
