Will it float? Probably. Here’s a look at a sixth Air Force 1 Bespoke from Nike Harajuku; featuring an all-corked-out upper, this design truly emanates the essence of the Air Force 1 Bespoke soul – which can be summed up in one sentence: “Yeah, I put cork on my shoes, wanna fight about it?”. But seriously, Bespoke offers what every other sneaker customization process can’t, and at Nike Harajuku, they went all out with the materials. Matching the wood-like tone of the cork is a brown bottom sole, a burgundy set of laces, and a black inner liner. More detailed shots await you after the jump so check ‘em out and let us know what you think of the material.

Absolutely Beautiful…

Those are actually pretty dope lookin

Very crafty. When I saw the shoe 4 the first time, I thought it waz made out of wood! But not sure if I would wear these. $till, very creative! Can't wait 4 part 7. (If there is Pt.7)

The very 1st Bespoke that I could truly respect.

Harjuku obviously gets FAR superior materials than 21 Mercer.. what a sham

P.S. I don't think that the lining is black. It appears to be chocolate brown like the sole of the shoe. If not, it should've been, but I still believe that this is the best bespoke by far!!! I'm normally not a fan of Bespokes at all and NO…it has nothing to do with the price, because I would drop that on some shoes too. I normally don't like them because most pairs that have been features…suck. This is clean, not too many colors, not too many textiles being used at the same time on one shoe and it's not a combination of any of the previously mention problems with bespokes. Once again simple and clean. The cork was an original use as well. They were executed perfectly…even the burgundy laces to simulate the red wine that stains the cork after we pop the bottle. Well thought out and perfectly executed as any design/art should be.

Can't stop looking at these. These would be considered a classic among many fans of fresh kicks. Clark Kent, The Mayor and the rest of ATF should take notes. Unlike their (CK & Mayor) daily personalities, this guy has a right to be cocky about his shoe design. I don't want to see any of them biting his fresh! Enough said G!

interesting looks like micheal lau sb dunks i swear the japanese even make there sneakers in better quality then we do you can tell by the use of the materials so far almost everything until now was made with croc

"These would be considered a classic among many fans of fresh kicks." I agree Sincere and with ur first comment. RE$PECT…………………..

Like most bespokes, I find myself saying… REALLY?! But instead of the usual underlying tone of sarcasm, this time it is with amazement. Excellent concept, and even better execution! Congrats to Nike Harajuku on the creation of this gem.

very very very dope.
September 9th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Best Bespoke.
September 9th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
corked out.
September 9th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
This material is at 21 Mercer. I have done a Cork pair except I used a burgundy outsole to match my laces & heel tab
September 10th, 2010 at 12:14 am
absolutely dope, but man would be scared to wear and tear a chunk out or something
September 10th, 2010 at 1:21 am
The burgundy really set it off. Not much of a fan of AF1 Lows, but damn these are REAL nice.
Totally WINE inspired…
Must be light as shit too, and float well.
September 10th, 2010 at 3:48 am
It woulda been better with a suede wine colored swoosh.
September 10th, 2010 at 10:08 am
It alright. I would want a different color on the laces.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:13 am
