It’s undeniable the strong relationship the Nike Air Force 1 has shared with music and DJs in the past. As part of the continued festivities of the Nike Air Force 1 25th Anniversity, Rane joined forces to create the Air Force 1 and Scratch Live Package. This cross-branded project signifies the intersection of sports, music and innovation within hip-hop culture.
Much like the debut of the Air Force 1 in 1982, Rane’s Serato Scratch Live has produced a revolutionary product. DJs around the world can now avoid lugging around huge crates of vinyl in favor of a laptop, all while using vinyl control records on their turntables to control their digital music files.
Another integral part of the package is the inclusion of a special Head Porter custom-made DJ bag. The DJ bag allows for the transportation of a laptop, the Scratch Live units and accessories. The bag’s upper is constructed of white ballistic nylon with Nike markings and the sole of the AF1 on the bottom of the bag. This special package was created in limited numbers for leading DJs around the world.
