Another Rasheed Wallace Nike Air Force 1 has surfaced. Back in 2018, Nike dropped the Nike Air Force 1 High Sheed Rude Awakening as part of their Champions Think 16 collection inspired by Rasheed Wallace delivering the Detroit Pistons their first title since 1990. This next special edition Rasheed Wallace Nike Air Force 1 is actually a collaboration with Off-White that appears to be inspired by the classic Air Force 1 High “Sheed” PE from 2001.
Previewed below, the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid Sheed comes dressed in Black patent leather upper decorated with Rasheed Wallace’s classic fadeaway jumper silhouette logo embroidered on the lateral heel. You’ll also fins the name “RASHEED” typed out alongside the signature “Off-White” text on the medial side. A feature that is a nod to the Air Force 1 “Sheed” PE is his jersey number “30” spotted on the ankle strap. White hits take care of the Swooshes and midsole while a Black spiked rubber outsole completes the design.
