Ah, the Nike Air Force 1. Like the Dunk Low…infinitely replicated, but still carrying universal appeal regardless of all the frills and fluff added. The latest entry in the books is, well, pretty close to the original, with one slight change. Stamped on the heel counter is a Chappelle’s Show logo and that’s about it.

Clad in all-white leather upper with a natural gum outsole, the shoe was made by Coltrane Curtis, founder of marketing agency, Team Epiphany, with the help of DJ Clark Kent for Dave Chappelle for his upcoming Netflix special. “So….. I Did A Thing For Dave. Yeah.. THAT Dave!,” wrote the legendary sneakerhead.

“Dave hit the jack and needed some heat for his new @netflix special,” wrote Curtis via Instagram. “He knew exactly what he wanted him, white AF1 gummies with a classic “C” logo hit. 1 challenge, we had 1 week do deliver them. So. What did I do, hit God’s Favorite @djclarkkent. Clark’s response, “This is what I do”, “Say Less”. Influence > Influencers. Fire. #thelist Only 5 pairs in size 12. All for Dave.”

Who would cop if these were to actually drop?
