Individual Sole

For the Sneakerness event in Zürich, Nike invited two Swiss artists and designers, Grotesk and +41, to create an exclusive pair of sneakers through the NikeiD Bespoke program.  Taking inspiration from the Air Jordan 3 and the Air Jordan Sky High, the result is an amazingly clean Air Force 1 that both Jordanheads and sneakerheads alike will love to get their hands on.  No word if these will end up as one that will hit the shelves for the rest of us.
