Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the
Say It LOUD! Nike iD Air Force 1.
Released on June 23rd, 2007 exclusively at the Elizabeth Street Nike iD store in NYC, these are one of very few Air Force 1's that Nike iD has ever produced. It was rumored that they were mass produced and sold at a few select spots, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
Though I've mostly phased out of sneaker culture since I graduated from high school, I still find myself lusting after certain kicks. Even though I have more than enough to last me a lifetime. Even though boxes of kicks still spill out of my closet every time I open the door.

I know that some of y'all sneaker fiends can unearth a pair of these for me. Give it the old college try.
I did, however, find a pair of fakes. But I felt they were too obvious. You tell me:
Would you rock these as a last resort?
Don't hesitate to hit me up if you find these...anywhere.
