Riccardo Tisci Discusses his Collaboration with Nike

Riccardo Tisci has a personal history with Nike Air Force 1s that extends way back before his current collab treatment of the sneakers. You’ve heard the tidbits already about the decade of his life where he wore nothing but Uptowns. A young Tisci apparently had hoop dreams, and it wasn’t until a serious injury that he abandoned those pursuits for fashion. He’s making his impact in that world regardless with the upcoming Nike RT collection, one that is revealed here to have Tisci’s intials covertly tacked on to the midsole. See another sneak preview of the shoes below and then check out a quick interview where Tisci talks Nike over at V Magazine.
