Lil Yachty is making waves in the sneaker world with his first Nike collaboration, the Air Force 1 “Concrete Boys.” After turning heads at ComplexCon in Las Vegas—complete with a concrete truck promoting his design—the rapper is gearing up for the sneaker’s official release on December 2nd.
Inspired by Classic Hip-Hop AF1s
The “Concrete Boys” Air Force 1 keeps things clean and classic, drawing inspiration from iconic hip-hop collaborations of the 2000s. Yachty looked to the simple, timeless styles worn by legends like Jay-Z (Roc-A-Fella Records) and Fat Joe (Terror Squad).
This design features:
- A white leather base with navy accents.
- A unique stickman construction worker logo on the heel.
- The “It’s Us” slogan from Yachty’s Concrete Boys crew on the tongue.
A Debate Over Simplicity
While some fans admire the minimalist look, others feel it lacks creativity. This debate echoes similar reactions to other recent Air Force 1 releases tied to major artists, such as Drake, Travis Scott, and Lil Uzi Vert. Despite this, the hype for the “Concrete Boys” AF1 is undeniable. Early pairs are already selling for double their retail price in resale markets.
Release Information
The Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 “Concrete Boys” will be available on December 2nd via SNKRS and select retailers for $140. Whether you love or question the design, this drop is sure to sell out fast—don’t miss your chance to cop!
