Nike 1World Air Force 1 – Feride Uslu

• Tweet

The Nike 1World Project has been in full effect for the first few months of 2009. In case you didn’t know, it allows artists and musicians to design their own version of the classic Air Force One model. The pair shown here were design by Feride Uslu, a Berlin based artist. These are inspired by Uslu Airlines, which is known for a cosmetic grade airbrush system and high quality nail polish.

This time around, the Air Force One Mid is the model of choice, as the low version seems to be more popular. They feature a grey upper constructed from leather along with perforations on the toebox. The green logo on the tag and yellow tongue are reminiscent of signal colors seen on the towers at the airport where the airline does business. The white and pink laces are modeled after parachute cords while the strap is modeled after the seat belts on the plane. Highlighting the shoes is the sheep-like material on the inner lining, which is similar to what is seen on the pilots’ chairs in the cockpit.

They will initially be available at Wood Wood Berlin during their release event on April 3, 2009. Beginning April 11th,  you can expect to see them hit Tier Zero accounts worldwide. Via HS.
