No final do ano passado, JOHN ELLIOTT foi um dos nomes que criou a sua versão branca do AIR FORCE 1, como forma de celebrar os 35 anos do modelo.

Distribuído apenas promocionalmente, o tênis deve ganhar uma tiragem comercial, segundo apontam rumores ventilados durante a mais recente edição da Paris Fashion Week. Como principais características,  Elliott criou uma versão escavada do Swoosh e dobrou os encontros entre painéis, criando uma volumetria no modelo, apesar da monocromia.

Couro bem enrugado chama atenção no calçado que, segundo essas informações não oficiais, deve ser vendido como parte da coleção de Fall 2018.

FINALLY…Beyond excited to share these!!! About a year ago, we had the opportunity to work on the 35th anniversary project for what is in my opinion the most iconic shoe ever, the @nike Air Force 1. There was one stipulation: it had to be all white. When tasked with working on such a culturally significant silhouette under the restriction of keeping it in an all white palette, I wanted to make sure that we included our DNA in the silhouette and tried to craft details that could potentially create color. To me the only way to do that was by adding and reducing layers to create shadows. Since this shoe is so rare lets run through some of what makes it special: Each overlay is doubled up to add dimension. We die-cut the swoosh out of the foxing and quarter and put pebbled leather underneath to create the appearance of it going inward and to create shadows. We took this layering theme and applied it to the smallest details – everything from a layered deubré, double lace keepers, layered aglets, and a double (layered) tongue. We then reduced small details like eyelets and vents down to a bead size. The finished product is something that I am excited to own and share with friends and family members this weekend at ComplexCon. 🙏🏼@nikesportswear
