Nike is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of the Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 “Concrete Boys” on December 2, 2024. This collaboration, inspired by Yachty’s “Concrete Boys” group and the hip-hop culture of the 2000s, has been generating major buzz.
A Nod to 2000s Hip-Hop
The design is simple yet meaningful, drawing inspiration from iconic Air Force 1 collaborations by artists like Jay-Z, Fat Joe, and Eminem. Featuring a mostly white upper with navy accents, the shoe pays tribute to the understated style that defined the early 2000s.
Special details include:
- A stickman construction worker logo on the heel, representing the “Concrete Boys.”
- The phrase “It’s Us” embroidered on the tongue as a nod to Yachty’s crew.
This clean design stays true to the classic Air Force 1 aesthetic while adding subtle personal touches from the rapper.
ComplexCon and Creative Promotion
Lil Yachty unveiled the “Concrete Boys” AF1 during ComplexCon, stealing the show with a live performance and a creative promotional stunt—a literal concrete truck decked out in his branding. The collaboration has sparked debates among sneaker fans, with some praising its clean look and others wishing for a bolder design.
Release Details
The Lil Yachty Air Force 1 “Concrete Boys” will be available in adult and grade school sizes:
- Adult sizes will retail at $140.
- Grade school pricing has yet to be announced.
Fans can grab their pairs starting December 2, 2024, via Nike.com and select retailers.
Sneaker Market Buzz
Hype for the release is already intense, with early pairs reselling at double the retail price on the secondary market. Whether you're a fan of the simplicity or not, this collaboration is set to be one of the standout drops of the year.
