questlove nike 1world air force gold 1 500x312 ?uestlove x Nike 1World Air Force 1 Gold Toe

On the heels of the recent showing of Nike 1World’s latest celebrity designed Air Force 1 done with ?uestlove of Roots comes a further update with an ultra rare Gold Toe version unveiled here. With a total production run rumored to be in the low 300s, each ?uestlove AF1 comes in a sealed blind box with a special twist as 25 pairs of these Gold Toe Air Force 1s will be randomly allocated. Lucky winners will not only be getting their hands on a gold pair but also the more readily available red version and an extravagant Roots prize pack. Although no concrete info is available on the Roots prize pack, allegedly it includes a trip to a Roots show/party. For your chance to get your hands on the elusive gold pair, Philadelphia’s Ubiq are offering a chance to win a free pair with every sign-up to their newsletter. Ubiq drop will see the shoes available for sale on August 5th with ?uestlove on hand for the 6:00 pm release.

    Gold toe or not, THESE GIVE ME A STOMACH ACHE. Just like all of these AF1 that drop multiple times a month.

    I’m glad he made “his” shoe and not something you guys would camp out for to resell. I mean in all honesty he doesn’t have to make his shoe fly for us at all. I know if I had the chance to make a shoe I wouldn’t care about you buying it or not because I would rock my pair everyday lol.

    these are not the deal. Red and green rarely looks good together…..and they with the gold? And then the bottoms are a different red than in the upper? If they at least made the green part…you know what? I don’t think these can be saved.

    katjakashi – semi-talented?? are you serious?? read up on the artist before you come in here spreading the dumbest thing i’ve heard all day. these will retail at $235.00 (thought it was $175.00 but a NIKETALK source told us diffrent) they also said the boxes will not come sealed..which sucks cause employees can easily identify and buy the gold pairs first. I will be there on the 5th to show support to my favorite hip-hop band alive. this is much more than a shoe for me..its about time they got their shine…Questlove is the realest drummer in philly..no if’s,and’s,or but’s about it

    Both editions of the semi-talented drummers shoes are lame. Anyone that wears these are opening themselves up to get laughed at.
