The legend of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke continues, with the latest pair being a design from Marcus Troy, urban fashion/culture blogger extraordinaire. Known for its use of a number of materials, this pair of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke, like the pair designed by Dan Hwang, follows that trend as Marcus Troy handpicked the kevlar, suede, leather, and waterproof denim to adorn his pair of the Bespoke. On top of the lush materials, this pair features a great black/grey/blue colourway and a pair of dubraes engraved with Marcus and Troy. Check out the video to get an inside look behind the Troy’s personalization process.

Especially after getting a look at the wild Nike Air Force 1 Low Bespoke “Makoto” Elephant Print, the question of whether or not the use of the classic pattern had become excessive, but when given the option to use it, we understand why it would be hard to pass up. The latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke to make a name for itself is this fresh new concoction from Brian A. Ruffin. Because of the grey Elephant Print heel, the shoe bears a slight resemblance to the Plus41 x Grotesk Bespoke, but there are plenty of other touches added to give the shoe its own personality.

The Elephant Print heel section is met by a medium grey midpanel and a solid white toe box and eyelet section. A black midsole, accents and waxed laces are also included, but it’s the transparent ice outsole and the red stripe and “AIR” logo that give this Nike Air Force 1 Low some real thoughtful style points. We will keep you posted on the latest in Bespoke happenings, and in the meantime create your own Bespoke model.

Makoto of Five Star Japan flew half way across the world to New York City to be able to customize his own pair of Bespoke Nike Air Force 1’s at Nike’s 21 Mercer space in SOHO. The result is a colorful, all-over Cement print, Nike Air Force 1 Supreme. The entire upper of the shoe uses a number of different colors of the Cement print while the inside collar lining and outsole of the shoes use an Aqua color while the shoelaces are Orange. Like all Nike Air Force 1’s “Bespoke”, Makoto’s pair is a 1 of 1.

The Mayor (not the one who tried to increase the legal term limits of his office, but a different Mayor who has much better taste when it comes to kicks) has been at the epicenter of all things Nike Air Force 1 since news broke of his finally hitting his 1000th pair landmark in is personal Air Force 1 collection. In case anyone was wondering, the 1000th pair cooked up for Mayor at the Nike Innovation Kitchen was in no way the mark of a slowdown in the Mayor’s collection or creativity. Mayor shows, with his newest Nike Air Force 1 Low “Nike iD Bespoke”, that his influential mark on the sneakerworld is still very much growing.

Most recently, The Mayor made another trip to the Nike iD Bespoke studio at 21 Mercer Street in NYC to play around with some of the new options available for customizing and personalizing his muse of footwear; the Nike Air Force 1. After brainstorming and playing around with a lot of different ideas, Mayor finally came up with the fresh Nike Air Force 1 Low “Bespoke” you see above.

The shoe, which just arrived at the Bespoke studio today, features a lot of lux features including a dark, denim upper with gold stitching and a gold insole. To go with the clean details on the upper, Mayor chose to construct the swoosh, heel tag and tongue label in red, patent leather. The sole is white with a clear outsole on the final product, but Mayor’s initial intention was to have the outsole be colored a solid red in order to match the red details on the upper, but there was some miscommunication in the outcome of design process. Regardless, the shoe is definitely a dope look. Another cool feature are the lacelocks, which are stainless steel with “MYR” elegantly printed on top. The shoes come with the original factory tag from the well known Feng Tey factory in Taiwan, which is an accessory we usually see on samples. If you like what you see, and you are going to be (or are in) New York City, take a trip down to Nike Sportswear and have a go at cooking up a dope, one-of-a-kind Nike Air Force 1.
