2022 Nike Air Force 1 "Puerto Rican Day"
A Celebration of History And Culture!
The story of the Air Force 1 silhouette can’t be told without mentioning New York and Puerto Rican culture. Ever since the shoe’s inception, there has been a connection between the three cultures that can’t be denied. For that reason, Nike has always made a point to create AF1 renditions that callout the cultural significance of both.
Design, Colorway, and Materials
Over the years, the “Puerto Rican Day” Air Force 1 has been adorned with a variety of colors, materials and motifs that point to the beloved country, but this year’s rendition goes for a more simplistic approach that still manages to clearly tell a story.
The shoe’s upper is compromised of a traditional white upper and is accented by a power blue raised swoosh and heel tab that’s accented by “Nike Air” branding and “Puerto Rico” in a darker shade of blue. For added contract, the white tongue tag features red “Nike Air” embroidery, while the navy blue outsole rounds out the look.
Other special details include the unique toe-box perforations done in a unique pattern, the lace charm that features the words “Puerto Rico”, and the insoles that feature a variety of culturally relevant words and imagery.
All in all, nothing says summertime in New York like a fresh pair of Air Force 1s and these are a pair that are sure to make anyone of Puerto Rican heritage proud.

The Nike Air Force 1 “Puerto Rican Day” is set to drop on June 4, 2022 for the premium price of $120 on the Nike SNKRS app. If you’re looking to purchase for retail, be ready at 9am CST to throw your hat in the ring for a chance to see the Got Em screen.
