The ‘Little Accra’ colorway is inspired by the vibrant culture and heritage of Accra, the capital city of Ghana, and pays homage to the Ghanaian diaspora in New York City, particularly the vibrant African community in the Bronx, often referred to as “Little Accra.”
Key Features:

- Design Elements: The Little Accra edition retains all the signature elements of the Air Force 1 ’07 silhouette, including perforations on the toe box for breathability, a padded collar for comfort, and the signature Air cushioning system for support and a smooth ride.
