Fly Season: Nike AF-1 X Clot
These joints are the Nike AF1X Clot's. They're fresh as hell, so we wanted y'all to peep these right quick. They're goin' for about $2,800 retail.
They come in a special "Chinese Candy Box" package. The Clot design team explains: “We need to remember to never judge simply by what you see.” The highlight peel-off double-layer design feature was created to inspire people to seek beyond the superficial, to search for what lies within.
Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the Nike Clot Air Force 1 packaging is a hexagonal red box with a partitioned tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.
Nike’s 1World AF1 Project is a partnership project between Nike Sportswear and 18 influential style makers from around the world. Each illustrious participant was invited to design his own Air Force 1, showcasing their trademark style and individuality. Since June 2008, the 18 shoes have been — and still will be — selectively released in limited numbers, available only in the city where the guest designer is from. The 1World AF1s released so far have been designed by Rasheed Wallace (Philadelphia), Pedro Winter (Paris), Gore Texer (Tokyo), Kaws (New York), Questlove (Philadelphia), Daisuke Matsuzaka (Tokyo), Ladainian Tomlinson (San Diego), Hajime Tachibana (Tokyo), Krink (New York) and Michael Lau (Hong Kong). - Credit: Sneakerfreaker
