Pairing up some of the most legendary icons in sneaker culture, Nike has taken what Edison Chen and his streetwear label CLOT have done with the Air Force 1 and thrown it over to fragment design’s very own Hiroshi Fujiwara, allowing him to give it a makeover of a simple yet alluring modification. Upper’s stay in line with their core starting points though swapping out the royal blues of its sibling for a dark, all-over dress of black throughout. Swooshes, tongues, and leather linings are all given this one-noted palette with the ornate detailing scattered across almost blending in through a shade just barely divergent. Sole units are kept with white walls for balance while gum bottoms add in lifestyle allure, a small but noteworthy addition to the trio’s collaborative masterwork. Grab a detailed look at the pair right here and expect a limited release on November 29th.
