Nike is bringing back this classic Charles Barkley shoe that is sure to be yet another throwback theme hit. Sneakerheads have long talked about how clean these retro Air Force 1’s are and these are no different. This shoe, called the Alpha Force Air Force 1’s, brings back memories of Barkley balling with the Sixers back in the day.

The strap on the tongue is a nice touch as is the red snake line that intercepts the swoosh. Also of note is the old school Air Force logo on the tongue and the blue trim around the bottom of the shoe.

These Nike Air Force 1s shoes will be released in October 2007, along with the Dondi White Converse that I posed earlier today. Not only is Nike paying tribute to Charles Barkley with the Nike Air CB34 sneaks I talked about almost a week ago, but these Nike AF1’s that honor Sir Charles’ time spent at Auburn University.

One thing I found quite interesting about these kicks is the stitching that is on the side, behind the Nike logo; I don’t remember ever seeing that on any other pair of Air Forces but I could be wrong. Anybody out there feeling these kicks? Enjoy!

For those of you who wanted or had a pair of the Nike Air CB34 Charles Barkley sneakers back in 1995, you will be glad to hear that Nike will be re-releasing these kicks this fall. As you can see above, there will be two colorways available. When I get prices, availability, and exact dates… I’ll be sure to let you know. Enjoy!

Nike Air Force 1 “Charles Barkley” pack will feature several pairs of Nike Air Force 1 Highs and Lows that all feature design characteristics from Barkley’s career including colorways of his uniforms dating back to his Highschool, college days at Auburn, and proffessional career. There is no info on the release date so far, but they should be dropping in the next couple of months.
