Nike Air Force 1 “Manchester Bee” Pays Tribute to City’s Buzzy Nature 

Arguably the most comfortable and fan-favorite The Nike Air Force 1 has been noticed in a “Manchester Bee” variant, indulgence to the British city’s bee logo that has been used for 150 years.

It was seemingly sculpted by the architect Albert Waterhouse or one of the Italian artists who planned out the flooring in Manchester’s town hall. The Manchester Bee pays homage to Mancunians’ hardworking spirit and the city is a hive of activity, and also mirrors how the city and its people have a great sense of togetherness.

This cultural symbol has now been transferred onto the AF1 and features alongside a number of other bold highlights. For example, the shoe sports a tan suede upper with tan tumbled leather parts in the middle and a dark brown Swoosh logo also in tumbled leather, while accents such as the tongue are made from a honeycomb mesh.

Honeycomb indulges in the embossed pattern found on the medial heel counter, while on the lateral heel you’ll find the Manchester Bee embroidered into the side. The city’s phone code, “0161” is seen on a tag on the tongue, resting alongside tonal Nike Air branding.

Luxurious leather insoles, debossed branding on the heel, a mini Swoosh on the eyestay, a set of cream laces, and a two-tone white-gray sole unit round out the pair. Take a look at the Nike Air Force 1 “Manchester Bee” above, and expect the sneaker to drop very soon at Nike stores, its website, and at select retailers.
