In addition to the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low Houston Comets that we just showcased last week, there will also be a matching Nike Air Force 1 Mid released by Nike. Nike is honoring the greatest WNBA team in history with this Nike Air Force 1 Mid which pays homage to the Houston Comets. If you weren?t familiar, the Houston Comets were one of the original eight WNBA teams and won the league?s first four championships behind the Big Three of Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson. They are one of two teams in the WNBA that are undefeated in the WNBA Finals; the Seattle Storm are the other. The Comets were the first dynasty of the WNBA and are tied with the Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm for the most championships of any WNBA franchise. The team was folded and disbanded by the league in 2008 during the height of the Great Recession because new ownership could not be found.

Taking on an official color makeup of Obsidian, University Red, White, and Wolf Grey, this Nike Air Force 1 Mid starts off with an Obsidian leather construction all over the upper with tonal detailing hitting the laces, tongues, inner liner, and the ankle strap. As far as branding goes we see red Swooshes with white outline on the side panels, red mini Swooshes on the ankle straps, and white Nike Air branding on the tongue tags and insoles. As a finishing touch we see the four championship years embroidered on the heels as well as an embroidered four-finger motif on the lateral ankles. A white rubber sole unit down below with red “AIR” branding wrap up the look on this Nike Air Force 1 Mid that will be releasing in the coming weeks for $120.
