    • MTTV: The Making Of Andre Iguodala x Marcus Troy Bespoke AF1 @ 21 Mercer

    I sat down with NBA swingman Andre Iguodala to design this very exclusive pair of Bespoke Nike Air Force Ones. We decided to collaborate on this shoe for the fans, merging lux materials with basketball lore to create something special and worthy of our audience.

    We drew our inspiration from the Jordan I and its history: how it was a polarizing shoe when it first came out, the fact that the original Jordan was banned from the NBA due to its aggressive colorway… It represented values we both abide by: audacity, power, to stand for something or risk falling for anything. To this, we added reptile leather detailing as well as Andre’s new logo and branding on the back of the shoe.
    To commemorate the launch of mindofai9.com, we’ll be giving away nine (after Iguodala’s jersey number) pairs of these limited edition AF1s. Each pair comes with a hand-drawn replica of the shoe by Bespoke designer Mau and are valued at $850USD.
