DJ Clark Kent Reworks the Air Force 25

words_Nick Engvall

Though it doesn’t have the following of the Air Force 1, the Air Force 25 is still a force to be reckon with. The style of the Air Force 25 stays true to the roots, yet adds additional necessary subtleties to bring it into current times. While there was a plethora of colorways that dropped a while  back for the 25th Anniversary of the original Air Force 1, the Air Force 25 releases have remained relatively quiet since. A few notables have dropped, but nothing like the DJ Clark Kent designed 3M Reflective Pack we see today.

Though Clark has designed countless sneakers, his work on the Air Force 25 is a little more limited (yet still exponential to most) in numbers.  These both feature 3M across the uppers, with carbon fiber and suede heel accents. The translucent midsole on these two colorways offset each makeup nicely. Finally Clark’s headphones logo has been placed on the tongue and insole, which declares his efforts more than many of his previous creations.

While it may not be the Air Force 1, these colorways that are now available at Kix-Files, may raise the bar (and demand) for the Air Force 25. What do you think?

   The AF25 isnt a classic. Most of them went to the outlets.

   Naaah. A little too ordinary for what I suppose will be a high price point. With respect to the good DJ, the 25 just doesn’t carry the gravitas of the AF1 to justify price. Outlet bound except for collectors.

   Sorry, but just because a guy buys a bunch of shoes and happens to work in the entertainment industry doesn’t mean he could or should be called to do a collabo, especially when all he does is pick out shoe colors and/or maybe slap an extra graphic on it. And this concept is about 2 years too late. Not to mention that this shoe is purely for balling, NO ONE rocked them casually. I still have 4 pair
