Amare Stoudemire’s arrival to New York City during the 2010 offseason proved to pay off immediate dividends for the franchise and the city. He brought a winning attitude with his ferocious offense, and garnered legitimate MVP consideration for leading the Knicks to playoff contention while standing as the sole leader of the team in the days before Melo. In 2011, Stoudemire was presented with his latest signature sneaker called the Air Max Sweep Thru, which served as the inspiration behind this special Air Force 1 Bespoke, designed as part of the ‘Nike Sportswear: Always On’ campaign. The shoe pays tribute to Amare’s undeniable status as a bonafide superstar, and was given away in limited quantities during Amare’s live appearance at 21 Mercer last December.
The camouflage-inspired upper is taken directly from the Sweep Thru strap, which features the same detail, although for the Bespoke, the pattern is achieved by the iconic Lasering method on a royal blue tumbled leather. Embroidered on the heel is Stoudemire’s nickname ‘STAT’ (Standing Tall And Talented), with the ‘A’ on the midsole colored in orange to distinguish his first initial. The final personal touch comes in the form of the custom hang-tag, which is uniquely addressed to each of the winners of the giveaway. Continue on below to get a full viewing of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke for Amare Stoudemire, and if this design sparks your own creativity, get in touch with 21 Mercer today to schedule a Bespoke appointment.

Dope
He'll have a lot of time to rock these in the off-season
The little things, like the orange 'a' and the orange contrast of orange outlining the swoosh, makes these amazing AF1s.
shattered pieces of glass on the shoe??? from a fire extinguisher maybe???....lmao
Damn so many Knicks collaborations. I know Nike and JB does a lot of their players but you would think they had won a championship the way things are going kicks wise.
