Alright so this isn't technically a Nike Air Force 1, but the shoe obviously owes quite a bit to that classic Nike basketball design.
The overall silhouette is the same, as is the tooling on bottom. Where this, the Nike NSW Pro Stepper, differs the most is in its upper, which lacks the giant Swoosh usually planted on side and the standard panels from the Air Force 1. Instead, it's much more modern in both its materials and its use of just a tiny Swoosh right above the midsole.
The shoe is somewhat reminiscent of the KD 8 NSW Lifestyle, a design that takes a similar approach with the Dunk DNA.
The Nike NSW Pro Stepper is available now at NRML in Canada, and has started to show up at U.S. sneaker shops as well.
