Sneaker fans can attest to the timelessness of Air Force 1s. They keep buying em'. During this month Sneakerjawns will be covering numerous Air Force 1 releases, in fact we're drowning in them.

The tie dye effect isn't that new as Nike has used it for block busters like the Air Max 97 Golf and other sneaker companies have exploited the groovy effect very much. There's a lot of variations and colors you can get with a tie dye effect as shown in the Nike Air Force 1 Tie Dye.
Let's take a closer look at these sneakers. It's not as colorful as other tie dye sneakers with a trio of colors adorning the upper, running from grey at the toe, red at the middle at yellow at the heel.

The Nike Air Force 1 Tri Tie Dye will be launching soon at Nike.com.
