Nike worked with CLOT, from Hong Kong, to give this CLOT Nike 1World Air Force 1. This shoe will be released on Jan. 16, 2009, at Juice in Hong Kong. ACU in Shanghai will also sell this shoe.
The shoe upper is made from Clot Royale Deluxe Silk. This is a textile that is traditionally associated with the Chinese. The textile has embroidered Clot graphics, which are Clot’s trademarked illustrations. These graphics are inspired by Chinese prints that were found in historical documents about 1000 years ago. The red colored upper shoe layer can be peeled off. The second layer underneath is a dark brown leather. The same Clot Chinese graphic prints are now lasered on the leather layer.
The shoe has a sock liner. This is inspired by the traditional green and white paper. The black accents are made in the matte-black leather details and black shoe laces. The white midsole and red outsole complete the look of this sneaker.
Clot and Nike created the special peel off double layer feature to encourage people to search through the superficial, to get inside what lies beneath. This Nike Clot Air Force 1 is sold in a special “Chinese Candy Box.”
