When it comes to art, culture, and sneakers colliding, few names command as much respect as Futura. To celebrate his 70th birthday, the New York graffiti legend has teamed up with Nike once again — this time turning one of his most iconic creations, the 2004 SB Dunk High “FLOM,” into a reimagined Air Force 1 masterpiece. And just like the original, this release is dripping in history, creativity, and exclusivity.
Back in 2004, Futura dropped the “FLOM” (short for For Love or Money) with Nike SB. Only 26 pairs were ever made, handed out to close friends and family. It quickly became one of the rarest sneakers in existence — a piece of streetwear mythology that still makes collectors’ hearts race today. The design was bold and unforgettable, featuring money-print underlays, rich brown suede overlays, and Futura’s signature style. Two decades later, Nike is giving that legacy a fresh twist on the Air Force 1 silhouette, and the result is nothing short of legendary.
The new Air Force 1 “FLOM” carries the same DNA as the Dunk, but with a few refined updates. You’ll spot the same brown suede panels and money-inspired underlays, but Nike has added a clean pink liner to modernise the look. The finishing touch is a subtle yet powerful detail — the Roman numerals “LXX” embroidered on the heel, marking Futura’s 70th birthday. It’s a quiet celebration of both his artistic legacy and his lasting impact on sneaker culture.
Now here’s the catch: this release is limited to just 70 pairs worldwide. That’s right — seventy. With that kind of scarcity, it’s not just another Nike drop; it’s a collector’s dream and an investor’s goldmine. There’s no confirmed public release, meaning these pairs are likely to land only in the hands of friends, family, and a few lucky insiders. For everyone else, expect resale prices to skyrocket once they start hitting the market.
At KershKicks, we’re always watching how art and sneaker culture merge — and this collaboration is a perfect example of that fusion done right. The “FLOM” Air Force 1 isn’t just a sneaker; it’s a story. It represents a moment in time, bridging the early 2000s SB era with today’s premium Air Force 1 craftsmanship. It’s a reminder that some designs don’t just age — they evolve.
For collectors and sneakerheads, this drop raises an exciting question: do you hold or do you flip? With Futura’s legacy and the extreme rarity, the long-term value looks promising. But for those who manage to secure a pair early, the short-term resale could also deliver serious returns. Either way, authenticity will be crucial — and that’s where KershKicks steps in. Every pair that passes through our hands is verified, authenticated, and quality-checked, so you can buy or sell with total confidence.
The Futura x Nike Air Force 1 “FLOM” isn’t just about hype — it’s about heritage. It’s a celebration of how far sneaker culture has come, and a tribute to one of the artists who helped shape it. Whether you’re a collector chasing history or a sneakerhead who appreciates timeless design, this release deserves your attention.
