Nike 'Chinese Arts & Crafts' Air Force 1 Premium

This is a sample Air Force 1 Premium that might release later this year. Kix-Files called them ‘Chinese Arts & Crafts’ because it features an embroidered phoenix on the tongue, a bamboo weave pattern embossed on leather covering both on the toe and heel cap, canvas like material used on the toe box and side panels, and a hemp insole printed with lotus and bamboo plant in traditional Chinese water colouring. Friday Magazine says it has the LV and Guuci essence. The canvas like material looks a bit like the LV Monogram Mini as well as the signature Green and Red colorway of Gucci.
