Michael Lau x Nike 1World ‘Air Crazy Force 1′ Preview
Recently we had a look at the Booba x Nike 1World AF1 which was designed by the French rapper Booba. Now we have a preview of another upcoming Nike 1World collaboration, this time with a toy designer. Michael Lau, famous designer/artist from Hong Kong got together with Nike to design an Air Force One for the Nike 1World series which he will show off later this month. Lau will be holding an exhibition November 29th - 30th at Michael Gallery to showcase the Nike 1World AF1 as well as a new toy he designed. Known as the Air Crazy Force 1, Lau kept the AF1 design subtle with a pair of all whites wrapped in quilted leather with gold stitched writting on the tongue and on the heel. No official word on an extact release date to the public but if your located anywhere in Hong Kong you can check em out in person when Lau holds his event at Micheal Gallery.

Nike Air Force 1 x Kevin Hunter
We just showed you the Nike Air Force 1 x Mayor which was given to Mayor as his 1,000th AF1 and mentioned how Nike rewarded 2 of their biggest known AF1 collectors their own sneaker. Here we show you the second sneaker, which was given to Kevin Hunter and inspired by his Bentley.
The red and beige colorway of the AF1 includes a gum sole and midsole with a pair of Bentley wings on the side of the upper. The Bentley “B” logo is etched into the heel tab and the lining is finished in yellow. A custom box was even included to resemble the wood grain interior found in Bentleys.
The sub-division of Nike, Innovation Kitchen, is the design team behind these AF1s and the pair done for Mayor. Hit the jump for a look at some more pictures.
Nike Air Force 1 x Mayor
Nike recently sent 2 of their biggest Air Force One collectors known around their very own pair of 1 of a kind AF1s. One of the Air Force One addicts is a guy who goes by the name of Mayor. Mayor is known to be HUGE into collecting Air Force Ones, whether they be mids or lows, it doesnt matter, Mayor has em.
Being the big AF1 addict he is and making himself known across the states in more ways then one Nike noticed his Sneaker Obsession and sent him a custom pair of sneakers. Up until this point Mayor owned 999 Air Force Ones, so with that being known Nike sent him his 1,000th pair. In honor of hitting the 1,000 mark Nike designed the yellow and beige sneakers with a design that includes abunch of random 1s scattered throughout the upper. And yes, there are actually 1,000 of them included somewhere within the design. 1000 is also printed on the heel tab and a set of sky blues laces were added to match the liner.
The sub-division of Nike, Innovation Kitchen, is the design team behind these AF1s which are defiantly a unique pair of Air Force Ones for one of the biggest collectors. Props goes out to Mayor on his collection and his new one of a kind kicks.

Supreme Dunk SB Low x Nike Air Force One Hybrid
Last night DJ Clark Kent stopped by Nike Sportswear on Mercer St in NYC and on his feet were these pretty interesting looking hybrid sneakers. At first glance they may just look like a pair of Supreme SB Dunks but once you take another look you notice the Air Force One mid-sole. DJ Clark Kent didnt mention how many pairs there were or if they would be released to the public, but he did mention that they were only promos. You know DJ Clark Kent and how he loves his Air Force Ones, so these could possible be one of his many exclusive sneakers in his collection and something you will never see in store or for sale. If any news pops up about this Supreme Dunk SB x Nike Air Force 1 hybrid we will be sure to let you know. Keep it posted and hit the jump for more pictures. Via: SN
