Nike Air Force 1 x Busy P

The Busy P x Air Force 1 is created in partnership with global innovator Pedro Winter aka Busy P as part of the 1WORLD series. Busy P is an electro house dj, producer, Ed Banger label manager, Daft Punk's manager and entertainer extraordinaire.

To design the Air Force 1 of his dreams, Pedro enrolled the services of So-Me, house art director of Ed Banger Records. Pedro likes his sneakers to be as bright and extravagant as possible, while So-Me has a very sober and classic taste in footwear. The two argued so much about what should be on the shoe that they decided to tell that story... on the shoe itself !

From the colors and materials to the stitching, every detail was the object of child-like squabbles between Busy P and So-Me. In the end, both are happy: the inside of the shoe is as slick and elegant as So-Me wanted the design, while the outside is as over-the-top as Busy P envisioned it. Pedro says, "I want my shoe to be a symbol for people who don't take themselves too seriously."

The Air Force 1 x Busy P is limited to 400 pairs, 200 for Europe and 200 for the US. These are sold out everywhere and now on display at the store !

Nike Vandal Hi Vintage comes in the white/varisity red. Classic shape made of fresh white canvas, red swoosh and blue accents. Featuring a white/red sole unit. Comes with a second pair of red laces ! The Nike Vandal basketball shoe came out in the mid 80's. They were one of the first all nylon upper high top basketball sneakers which meant they were not only more breathable than traditional leathers but also a good deal lighter.

The Nike Vandal had a cameo appearance in the film Terminator.

Also available in dark blue/taxi-light bone colorway. Comes with a second pair of yellow laces !

Court Force Hi inspired by the original Air Max original colorways.

Nike Terminator Hi Vintage comes in granite/dark blue colorway and in light bone/brickhouse-sail colorway. The Nike Terminator high-top was introduced in 1985, and was distinguished from the similar Nike Dunk by its unusual logo - NIKE in large letters accross the heel of the shoe.
