The upcoming Air Max 1 collaboration between Hong Kong based fashion brand, CLOT, and Nike is one hot shoe to be sought after. Designed by MC Yan and Nike created this linerless Air Max 1 based on Chinese culture and traditional Chinese medicine. The upper is crafted from several different materials including suede, ostrich skin and snakeskin. However, the most distinguishable material is the transparent plastic on the toe box. The insole is decorated with artwork inspired by the body pressure points from Chinese medicine. These beautiful shoes will be available in an exclusive box at Juice in Hong Kong on May 13th for $1,299 HKD (~$167 USD). Subsequently, they will be released worldwide at stores with tier 0 accounts sometime in June.

Ever had a dream where someone goes to step on your sneakers which made you want to hurt them badly? This new print by Assault conveys the anger and frustration that every sneaker head feels in crowded places or out on the mean streets of the city. It’s a bit like a modern urban sneaker version of ‘Falling Down’.
Printed on amazing quality 100% cotton 160gsm stock (that’s fancy talk for ‘really nice paper’), this one will definately look good framed on your wall!
Available now at Assault
