As an leading participant of Nike’s 1World program, it comes as no surprise KAWS work with Nike goes beyond his Air Force 1 to also include this little known Air Max 90 sample. Information regarding its release is sparse but features some nice detailing such as the “x” style stitching on the toebox with the use of neon stitches to reference KAWS’ iconic imagery which can also be seen on the lacelocks. No word yet on availability.

Posted by: young arafat / September 14th, 2008 at 4:40 pm there is something to it
Posted by: dan / September 14th, 2008 at 4:43 pm lol…poser?…i believe the term is “hater”…keep admiring those X’s…better yet, go admire that painting of SPONGEBOB with X’s over his eyes…thats far more original, interesting and expensive…lol…
Posted by: dcypoe / September 14th, 2008 at 4:50 pm lol dickhead alert! (dcypoe). Kaws is a unique concept but this was probably the most simplest design, i agree with young arafat, it should have been in a black or a more colorful toned fabirc. It is kind of too boring to cop.
Posted by: Woot / September 14th, 2008 at 5:05 pm Whoop dee doo, these shoes are going to be like 500 dollars because of some different stitching. This is stupid

Posted by: namer / September 15th, 2008 at 1:22 am and oh yeah..do you even know kaws? what he has done in 10 years before you even born hahaha
Posted by: namer / September 15th, 2008 at 1:24 am i love kaws, but these shoes are lame…his AF1s were a million times cooler.
Posted by: ryan / September 15th, 2008 at 2:46 am The grammar on this site as a whole is atrocious! along with those boring ass shoes….I’m all for doing it simple but i feel like those were just slapped together.like he met up with someone over coffee who brought the shoes in a suitcase opened it up and he just approved them and went on about his treasure hunting day
Posted by: THE hater / September 15th, 2008 at 4:53 am yes mr teacher..i will study more engrishh. btw its still a sample aint it?
Posted by: namer / September 15th, 2008 at 5:26 am HOT ASS SHOE!! The AF1 KAWS in BLACK IS ALSO HOT!!! I WISH NIKE WOULD DO A BIGGER RUN OF THESE!! QUIT HATING, If you like Kaws or you dont either way its a hot shoe.
Posted by: nosieisgolden / September 15th, 2008 at 8:32 am I’ve said it a thousand times, and i know i must just be a poser and a hater, but kaws is the least interesting popular artist or designer i could ever think of. whether you like his stuff or not is a matter of opinion, and i don’t hate him but i would never dick-ride his repetitive style. and if you think i’m just some stupid kid, kaws was only born 6 years before me and i have no idea where people get off acting like he invented graffiti or the concept of subverting advertisements and popular culture. that pre-dates kaws by a long time, you know, since the 1950’s at least. grow up and stop claiming anyone who doesn’t like the same things as you is a “hater.” kaws is just some dude who got famous for putting “x’s” (x’s have been played out forever) all over images he copies, or shoes, or whatever. of course he is popular, people get to feel like they are down with something revolutionary when it really is just the same images they are comfortable with because they have been bombarded with them forever.
Posted by: CommonSensei / September 15th, 2008 at 9:15 am personally, I think a non-kankle would have made the kicks look better….
Posted by: greenroor / September 15th, 2008 at 12:11 pm ofcourse youre a hater man..dont be subjective..if you dont like him dont judge him.because you dont understand what hes been doing.ohh nooo hes not the one who invented graffiti..he did some graff back in the day and some “street art” after that. hes doin thing like what you see everyday,semiotic and iconic stuff.its not all about skills its all about style.hes the right man in the right time. im a big fans of him, eventho i cannot afford buy his stuff nowadays. but i respect him for what hes been doing.its hard as an artist/designer to make some cash.sory for my bad engrish but i hope y’all got my point cus seems you dont understand his hardwork.cheers
Posted by: young arafat / September 15th, 2008 at 12:27 pm i unsderstand the hard work completely I myself am an artist this world is bent on telling you you cant make money of of doing the one thing you love and it sucks. All I’m saying is i feel like he can change it up a little do something he hasn’t done yet. i feel like he’s doing the same shit just in different colors or over different pictures.
Posted by: THE artist / September 15th, 2008 at 2:40 pm From what i learned is that samples can change.
But that almost never happens, I think it only happened with Nike SB Picnic table to Nike SB Lobster.
