The Nike Air Force 1 is getting highly decorated this year with this new pair.

The shoe has a military aesthetic to it between the five stars that show up on the dubrae and the graphic tongue that channels the badges of decorated servicemen. The velcro on the strap furthers the patriotic theme with the Latin phrase "E pluribus unum," which cleverly ties back to the Air Force 1 with its English translation: Out of many, one. It's possible that this military Nike Air Force 1 is coming for Memorial Day at the end of May, as the shoes are already showing up overseas.

There is no concrete sneaker release date information for the Nike Air Force 1 "E Pluribus Unum" pair yet.
