The Nike Air Force 1 Mid '07 LX 'Izakaya' (2022) draws inspiration from Japan’s vibrant izakaya dining culture, blending culinary storytelling with the timeless appeal of Bruce Kilgore’s iconic basketball silhouette. Released as part of Nike’s themed “Izakaya” collection in 2022, the sneaker transforms the classic Air Force 1 Mid into a richly detailed lifestyle statement, celebrating Japanese food culture through carefully considered materials, embroidery, and graphic detailing. Maintaining the heritage construction that has defined the Air Force 1 since 1982, this edition pairs premium craftsmanship with playful visual references, making it one of the more distinctive themed Air Force 1 releases of the year.
Overview
Constructed with textured leather uppers and layered detailing, the Nike Air Force 1 Mid '07 LX 'Izakaya' features a warm earth-toned palette inspired by traditional Japanese eateries and cuisine presentation. Intricate embroidered graphics and custom branding elements reference izakaya culture throughout the shoe, while the signature mid-top ankle strap preserves the silhouette’s classic basketball roots. A padded collar, perforated toe box, and encapsulated Nike Air cushioning ensure the sneaker retains the comfort and everyday wearability synonymous with the Air Force 1 franchise. Additional detailing on the tongue, heel, and sockliner reinforces the thematic storytelling approach Nike applied to the release. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.
