Nike iD Air Force 1 Bespoke

JD — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:10:08 +0000

ALL THE A1 COLLECTORS

Nike iD goes to the next level on the Air Force 1 and offers the iconic basketball sneaker with new premium options, similar to the recently launched Nike iD Toki. As usual, the Bespoke service is exclusive to the 21 Mercer store in New York City and takes about 4 weeks for delivery.

“The padding and lining have been removed and the shoe itself has been pared back to reveal a minimalist construction that has more in common with dress shoes than Rucker Park. The laces are hand-rolled and stitched. The leather-wrapped midsole is both lighter and softer than a standard Air Force. The sockliner is premium leather with full-length memory foam. The hang tags are also leather, with personalised laser etching all part of the package. All in all, it’s a radical and classy upmarket overhaul of the Uptown, Nike’s bona fide NYC sneaker franchise. And if that’s not enough, the first 30 customers through the Mercer Street doors will receive their Bespokes inside a wooden box made from reclaimed fir, complete with laser etching and a custom seal.”

Nike Huarache Free 2012 – Basketball and Running

JD — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:13:44 +0000

LOVE THESE ALL BLACK

Nike Free technology accentuates the natural motion of a foot in movement. Having debuted in running, FREE technology continues to speak to Nike’s commitment to push the limits of performance footwear. Launching in the early ’90’s on the basketball hardwood, the Nike Huarache basketball shoe was an instant hit. The running crazed 1990’s also saw the Huarache running shoe make a dent in the footwear design landscape. For 2011 both have been modernized with FREE outsoles hybridizing iconic colorways and silhouettes of yesteryear with 21st century tech. Meshing the neoprene bootie comfort and fit with the FREE outsole technology truly maximizes a foot’s motion. The Huarache 2012 running and basketball shoes launch this November.

GOOD SHIT

The unveiling and subsequent auction of the Nike MAG was by and large the biggest sneaker event of the year, if not the decade. Working with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Nike sold 1500 pairs of the sneaker over a 10 day period, raising a total of $5,695,190.53 USD. Much respect to all who participated.
UPDATE: If you recall, Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, will be matching this number, so in the end over $11,390,381.10 USD will go to charity as a result of this initiative.
