To widen their arms in support for 2009's Chinese Lunar new year, Nike has paired up again with CLOT to launch the lucky red inspired NIKE Clot Air Force 1 edition sneakers.
These are included in the Nike 1World AF1 Project that features a total of 18 influential style leaders in the following fields: art, design, music, and sports.
The main theme of this collection banks on luck, happiness, and prosperity, all evident with the color red.
Special features of the Nike Clot Air Force 1 include:
• An upper-shoe made from red Clot Royale Deluxe Silk, the most recognizable Chinese-made textile, with embroidered trademark Clot graphics inspired by thousand-year-old Chinese prints.
• The red upper-shoe top layer can actually be peeled, burned or torn off to reveal a bottom layer made from dark brown leather.
• Clot’s trademark Chinese-print graphics, as embroidered onto the silk upper layer, are lasered onto this durable leather layer.
• A sockliner inspired by traditional green-and-white paper.
