Nike Air Force 1 Low “1World CLOT”
Its finally Asia’s turn to shine as part of the Nike 1World Air Force 1 campaign and just in time for the Chinese New Year. The collaboration is with Hong Kong based CLOT who has applied their stylistic twist of the Nike Air Force 1 Low. The overall theme for the sneaker is base of the traditional wishes during the New Year which is luck, happiness and prosperity. The upper of the Nike Air Force 1 Low is made from red Clot Royale Deluxe Silk, the most recognizable Chinese-made textile, with embroidered trademark Clot graphics inspired by thousand-year-old Chinese prints. Additionally the red upper-shoe top layer can actually be peeled, burned or torn off to reveal a bottom layer made from dark brown leather. Clot’s trademark Chinese-print graphics, as embroidered onto the silk upper layer, are lasered onto this durable leather layer.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Clot” comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. 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 Air Force 1 Low “Clot” 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.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Clot” will be available on January 16, 2009.
