As nike air force 1 ultraforce continues to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the iconic Air Force 1, the Swoosh approached Miami-based artist Jason Seife to tell his story surrounding the legendary silhouette. Seife in turn joined with the brand for a two-part project, showcasing one low-top AF1 and one mid.
Per Jason, “This has always been a staple shoe in my collection since I was a child and being an artist from a young age it was inevitable that all my shoes would end up covered in paint.”
He collaborated with Nike to reimagine the nike air force 1 flyknit as part of the new AF-100 collection. Two other collaborators — designer Virgil Abloh and Chicago native Don C — also attended the River North party.
The nike air force 1 07 mid-tops also feature various hand-painted detailing in differing areas of the shoe. We then see the toe of Seife’s white Forces dipped in red paint, boasting complementary, multicolored designs.
One of the high attractions of Art Basel 2017 in Miami is undoubtedly the air jordan 1 retro high “Art Basel” Pack, a set of 85 originals colored up in Art Deco themes.
