CLOT x Nike 1World Air Force 1 Supreme – Packaging

• Tweet

We first featured this pair of Nike 1Wolrd Air Force 1 Supremes a few weeks ago and briefly mentioned that they came in special packaging. Now we wanted to take a closer look at the actual box that it comes in.  The shoes themselves sport a red CLOT Royale Deluxe Silk, a well known Chinese-made textile. Other unique features include trademark CLOT graphics embroidered onto the upper, as well as detailed illustrations embroidered onto the leather. Also, the red upper-shoe layer can be peeled, burned, or even torn off to reveal a dark brown leather undercoat.The box is actually a special Chinese Candy Box packaging case. The inspiration behind this stems from the fact that traditionally, Lunar New year celebrations include the offering of candy and other sweets from a red box to ensure a sweet year. They will be available on January 16, 2009 and retail for HK$2,800 (Hong Kong) or RMB2,800 (China), exclusively from JUICE or ACU. Via High Snobiety.
