The Nike Sportswear flagship store will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK”, created for 1WORLD in partnership with New York artist Craig “KR” Costello.

“The Air Force 1 has been around for so long that my memories of it are simply as a shoe. Before all the hype and collectors… It has been a staple for decades and is a true iconic classic” said KR. “With that said, I wanted to keep things simple. The KRINK drip pattern is a trademark style of mine so I wanted to include it in this project. I selected reflective, as it is booming and unique.” And unique would be a great one word descriptor for this Nike Air Force 1 Low.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK” is the fifth shoe created in the US for 1WORLD, and joins Rasheed Wallace, KAWS, ?uest Love, and LaDainian Tomlinson as having had the chance to create their own version of the Air Force 1 as part of the 1WORLD collection. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “KRINK” will release exclusively at Nike Sportswear in NYC as well as other select retailers.

The Nike 1World campaign continues with the next Nike Air Force 1 Low. The Nike Air Force 1 Low 1World “Booba” is the result of a collab between Nike and rapper Booba.

The premium red leather uppers featuring unique graphics of tattoo artist Laura Satana, that sit atop of a clear sole, under which the flag of Senegal peers through. The color is a favorite of Booba, and Senegal reps half of his otherwise French heritage. One of the more subtle releases of the 1World campaign, but definitely nothing that will go unnoticed.

These will drop December 6th at Boulbi & Co in Boulogne, France. They are limited to 176 pair worldwide.

Two months ago, we showed you a retro Charlotte Hornets colorway of the Nike Air Force III, and many of you loved the design. We have now spotted the Nike Air Force III in the most colorful NBA colorway ever! If you are too young to remember, these throwback colors were worn by the Nuggets from 1982-93 (see Alex English).

The upper features every color you have seen in the rainbow. It contains a yellow shoelaces, a red swoosh, and every other color in the crayon box on the heel. We are still searching for that leprechaun with a pot of gold that comes with this pair. It also features a black-speckled midsole. Along with the Charlotte Hornets retro colorway, this multi-colored sneaker was released to select House of Hoops stores.
