TLDR: The Nike Air Force 1 ’01 “Philly” celebrates Philadelphia’s basketball culture with a colour scheme of white, blue and red. A high-quality leather construction is combined with local details such as “215”, “PHL” and the classic “Phila” lettering. The trainer has already been released in the US, but a European release has not yet been confirmed. Nike launched the “Philly” to mark the start of a new chapter in basketball in the City of Brotherly Love. The colourway is clearly inspired by the Philadelphia 76ers, whilst placing the city and its local sneaker culture centre stage.
The upper combines white leather overlays with blue inserts on the toe box and sides. Red Swooshes provide the strongest contrast. As a ’01 version, the Air Force 1 also features a slimmer toe box and a higher-quality, sturdier leather construction.
The connection to Philadelphia is particularly evident on the heel: ‘215’ refers to the local area code, whilst the second shoe bears ‘PHL’. ‘Phila’ branding, the Philadelphia Attack logo and insoles featuring a cracked brick wall complement the numerous city-inspired details.
