+Nike iD Air Force 1 Bespoke
Nike iD goes to the next level on the Air Force 1 and offers the iconic basketball sneaker with new premium options, similar to the recently launched Nike iD Toki. As usual, the Bespoke service is exclusive to the 21 Mercer store in New York City and takes about 4 weeks for delivery.
“The padding and lining have been removed and the shoe itself has been pared back to reveal a minimalist construction that has more in common with dress shoes than Rucker Park. The laces are hand-rolled and stitched. The leather-wrapped midsole is both lighter and softer than a standard Air Force. The sockliner is premium leather with full-length memory foam. The hang tags are also leather, with personalised laser etching all part of the package. All in all, it’s a radical and classy upmarket overhaul of the Uptown, Nike’s bona fide NYC sneaker franchise. And if that’s not enough, the first 30 customers through the Mercer Street doors will receive their Bespokes inside a wooden box made from reclaimed fir, complete with laser etching and a custom seal.”
