Nike Officially Unveils the Hotly Anticipated A-Cold-Wall* Air Force 1
When A-Cold-Wall* first teamed up with Nike, the brand was sold in just 1o stockists. Now, that number is up to 130. And as the brand has grown, London-based designer Samuel Ross has started to think more about his work's impact on the environment. So for the latest Nike x A-Cold-Wall* team-up-two colorways of the classic Air Force 1 low-he decided to utilize the sportswear giant's new Flyleather material, which uses at least 50 percent recycled natural leather fiber.
"It has been brilliant to actually open up that conversation with Nike around clothing and footwear in order to take steps towards becoming more sustainable at A-Cold-Wall*," Ross says. "Flyleather is a vessel to refine an idea that was already quite strong," he continues. "The technology behind it is also connected to the progression of my design practice, my label and, of course, my work on the Air Force. To produce a shoe that carries a sustainable narrative and talks to modern issues is a big thing."
The Nike x A-Cold-Wall* Air Force 1 low dropped this past weekend in Shanghai, and further releases will arrive on December 21. The leaks around this sneaker have fueled desire for months, and you can bet it won't sit around for long when folks are finally able to buy it. In other words: Mark your calendar. And be ready to move fast when that fateful morning arrives.
