New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

Marok, the publisher and art director of Lodown Magazine will the the next global influencer to work with Nike on the 1World project. His Nike Air Force 1 Low uses ’supreme’ level materials including premium soft black leather in the toe area and heel and a dark obsidian canvas in the side panels, eyelets and swoosh. The sneaker is finished off in a nice clear white midsole and a icy orange outsole. Unfortunatley for most, Nort Berlin will probably be the only shop where these will be available. They will release December 13, 2008.

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.

Only 100 pairs total, of the Nike Air Force 1 “Stash” dropped last Friday at Concepts in Boston and at NORT/Recon in NYC.

The Nike Air Force 1 “Stash” were incredibly exclusive. 18 of these beauties were available to those that picked them up in Boston and they were able to meet Stash himself, and get their pair autographed. You can imagine the types of lines you would see for this kind of crazy release.

DJ Clark Kent was fitted up with these rare, possibly one-of-a-kind kicks last night at the Nike Sportswear shop on Mercer St. They take on the uppers of the now classic Nike Dunk Low Supreme and add it to an Nike Air Force 1 sole. The result, well leaves most of us with are jaws still dropped and drooling.

No word on production numbers, but these are definitely nothing short of exclusive, maybe even exclusive to DJ Clark Kent’s closet. The more important question than if these are going to come out (we know Clark likes his 1 of 1’s), is what other madness is lying around in this man’s closet?!
