The latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke manages to combine alot of what’s good about sneakers. ‘Masta Mike’ designed these joints with alot of different elements, so he had to be relatively conservative on the colourway. That’s where the balance-blessing white/grey/black complex comes into play. Without this subtle blend, the mixture of suede, nubuck, full grain leather, woven nylon, croc skin and elephant print would have been too much. As it stands, this is a deceptively rich mix, all atop the immortal gum sole. Peep more photos after the jump and call Nike Sportswear in New York for an appointment today.

Way too much going on with this shoe. Too many materials, contrast stitching at mid sole, gum bottom, elephant print at the tab. Perhaps if this were a monotone colorway, it would be a smoother balance.

blue stitching on a clear midsole with a gum outsole on a gry/Blk/purp sneaker, and it wouldnt be a bespoke if it didnt have elephant print, now would it?….really not a good look for me, but masta mike can spend his $800 anyway he pleases

he shoulda just put purple on the outsole instead of gum…ruins the sneaker

Gum bottom out. Purple,blk, or a clear bottom either one love.
