In 2008, the collaboration between the renowned HTM team, comprised of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, and Nike CEO Mark Parker, resulted in the creation of the Nike Air Force 1 'HTM 2.' This iteration served as a sequel to the highly exclusive Nike Air Force 1 'HTM' release in 2002, which was limited to only 1,500 pairs. While maintaining the color blocking of the original Air Force 1, the 'HTM 2' introduced an opulent black crocodile-skin upper, complemented by matching black Air branding on the sole unit. Just like its predecessor, this version was also limited to 1,500 pairs and became available in May 2004 at select Nike stores.
