Top Ten Shoes 2012 (7)

In at number 7 we have the Nike Air Force One in White / Gold ( The One)

The detail on this shoe is crazy. The upper consists of an all out leather affiar in white predominantly.

The instep of the upper is made to look like the texture of gold, it has embossed bumps all across it along with the swoosh. The whole of the upper is then covered in speckles of gold.

The midsole is one of many Air Forces to release this year covered in leather, again the speckles of gold are consistant with the design on the upper. The insole has the remains of the standard AF1 XXX insole that has been prominant across most XXX releases this year but is barely visable under the gold effect placed on top. As you can see below this looks brilliant.

The sole of the shoe is all white, except a few gold rings, another great touch.

The final quality detail here is the heel of the shoe that consists of a pull tab to house the packaged 'Gold Medal' ribbon. Yes if your so inclined these can be worn around the neck. I am not but i like having the option.

These were £165 and although a little steep you cant deny that these are smothered in great touches. These were made to remember the gold rush this summer that were the Olympics and I think as tributes go these are a worthy contender.
