Here we have a small preview of the upcoming Air Force 1 YOTD.

There is not an official release date set as of now but they are due out come January. China will receive an exclusive package of the YOTD AF1 which includes the sneakers along with a special edition Nike Destroyer Jacket all packaged inside a special wooden box set.

Materials and specific details are also uncertain at this point but it looks as if the AF1 will be a high cut model and the side panel detailing will feature Dragons throughout.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Another one gets the custom bespoke treatment and his name is Matthew Lauretti. Matthew, a 21 year old from Italy recently stepped into NSW at 21 Mercer St to get his fresh pair of Bespoke Nike Air Force 1s.

With the overwhelming options of colors, materials and accessory options, Matthew chooses the NYC path with Knicks inspired colorblocking. The custom Bespoke features a blue snake skin panel upper, beige and gold suede with orange accents.

In addition to the colorway, the shoe is also treated with special stitching and a blue and orange Swoosh. The shoe is finished off with “New York” embroidered on the heel tab and lace jewel and brown waxed laces. So many options and custom stylings on this one, let’s just let the images speak for themselves. Let us know what you think of the latest Bepoke.

Remember that Destroyer Jacket from Nike Sportswear? These are the AJ1’s that were supposed to accompany the release, yet never made it into production.

The all black upper, perforated Swoosh and blue rope laces/ NY badge make up the sneaker which would have been a perfect addition to the jacket.

Check out a few detailed images and let us know what you think.

In New York City, Nike’s got a league completely dedicated to those who work in the sports, apparel, and athletic industry. It’s called the NRF League, and, if there website or 3-point contest is any indication (Bobbito won it!), they take their game very seriously. The Swoosh even blessed them with their very own Air Force I (1). The shoe features a black bottom, patent blue top, with shiny silver accents. NRF’s logo is printed in white on the heel. The Nike NRF Air Force I (1) will remain exclusive to those participating in the league, and will not hit stores.

Makoto of Five Star Japan experimented with every cement print available in the NikeiD catalog, creating this monstrosity of an interesting Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 (One). The shoe pairs regular ol’ grey/black cement (elephant) print with, blue, burgundy, grey/orange, and brown cement print. I know how some of you cats get in the “Comments” section, but please, let us know what you think of these!
