DJ Clark Kent is no stranger to Nike or the Nike Air Force 1 and definitely not to New York, so it should come as no surprise that his newest East vs. West Nike Air Force 1 High, not to be confused with the low we showed you recently, dons the colors of the Knicks and the most choice of materials.

Going the opposite direction of his last creation by opting for a bright colorway, Clark gave his high only the finest materials, including premium leather on four separate areas. The toe box and toe cap use a buttery smooth black, as well as the the swoosh. Clark even chose to wrap the midsole in leather. Blue crocodile skin wraps from inside to outside around the heel, matching the outsole perfectly. The “.44 Rubber” you see on the back portion of the uppers is a reference to the rubber used on the outsole, which was originally designed for use on Nike’s ACG line. Touches of orange are used on the strap, and the high quality nubuck mid-panel is orange, also.

The man loves his Airs and has had his hand in the design of a few too. Well, much beyond the eight Nike Air Force One´s he has designed (Video Music Box, 3 NYC Team, 2 Phoenix ASG, 112 Pack, Black Friday), the 112 Pack illustrated that Clark Kent knows sneakers.

Clark is back at it again. Not even a month ago the public received the short lived opportunity to grab the 112 Pack assembled, but unfortunately, this pair of Nike Air Force One´s will be only on the feet of Clark himself.

DJ Clark Kent has titled these the “Beijing 2008 And The Winner Is…” Nike Air Force One´s that make use of the metallic trilogy awarded on the medal stand. While we hope to see only Gold Medals hang from the necks of our home team, we’ll settle for a few Silvers and Bronzes in the events where we have more than one contestant. Are these Nike Air Force One´s hinting a medals sweep for the 200m and 400m like in Athens? Let’s hope so!
