John Elliott x Nike Air Force 1 Low, lansat în toamna 2018

Designerul de modă John Elliott își va lansa Nike Air Force 1 Low, care a fost afișat în timpul ComplexCon 2017 mai târziu în această toamnă 2018.

Aceasta este o continuare a colecției sale anterioare Nike Vandal High din toamna anului 2017. Nike Air Force 1 vine într-o schemă de culori curată și simplă alb-pe-alb. Unele dintre detaliile pe care le-a adăugat au fost o construcție din piele cu pietriș la siglele Swoosh tăiate pe părțile laterale.

FINALLY…Beyond excited to share these!!! About a year ago, we had the opportunity to work on the 35th anniversary project for what is in my opinion the most iconic shoe ever, the @nike Air Force 1. There was one stipulation: it had to be all white. When tasked with working on such a culturally significant silhouette under the restriction of keeping it in an all white palette, I wanted to make sure that we included our DNA in the silhouette and tried to craft details that could potentially create color. To me the only way to do that was by adding and reducing layers to create shadows. Since this shoe is so rare lets run through some of what makes it special: Each overlay is doubled up to add dimension. We die-cut the swoosh out of the foxing and quarter and put pebbled leather underneath to create the appearance of it going inward and to create shadows. We took this layering theme and applied it to the smallest details – everything from a layered deubré, double lace keepers, layered aglets, and a double (layered) tongue. We then reduced small details like eyelets and vents down to a bead size. The finished product is something that I am excited to own and share with friends and family members this weekend at ComplexCon. [email protected]
