Notes: Following the Air Force 1 “Snakeskin,” Nike has revealed yet another iteration of the reptilian-inspired sneaker, dubbed the “Purple Snake.” Inspired by the Lunar New Year and joining the ranks of the official “Year of the Snake” AF1, this striking sneaker features a base of soft purple leather, enriched with darker purple snakeskin overlays that add depth and luxury. Mauve suede accents on the Swoosh and heel tab create a sophisticated contrast, with the interior liners and tongue tags carrying the same hue for a seamless look. Adding vintage appeal, an aged midsole balances the bold design with a classic touch. Retailing for $130 USD, the “Purple Snake” will be available at select Nike retailers and via Nike’s official site in the spring of 2025.
