My Life: Nike Bespoke Session Part 1
December 10th, 2009Nike invited me to out to 21 Mercer street in NYC to create my very first Bespoke Air Force 1.
If you are not familiar with the BESPOKE initiative here it is in a nutshell:
*Bespoke (appointment only), is available with the benefit of consultation from dedicated Nike designers. Bespoke offers an unprecedented opportunity to craft personalized, premium footwear-one product at a time. The Air Force 1 will initiate the Bespoke program.
The Legendary Clark Kent came trough during my session and hung around and showed some love. The Mayor of NYC also popped in for a few. The homie Izzy help me designed my Air Force 1 and took mad good care of me. The experience was incredible.
The Bespoke shoes would cost someone about $850 and takes about 4 weeks to ship. You can choose from 100′s of materials and fabrics to really customize your shoe. The process is about 2 hours and is guaranteed to leave you happy. Clark is on his 20th Bespoke!
Thanks to my Family at NIKE for taking care of me.
I will show you the design and more details in part 2 of this post.

Big shout out to Will for coming trough and documenting my experience.









this is amazing – congrats on your first bespoke! they’re like a sneaker badge of honour.
the process has come so far, i did nikeID air forces a while back, and there was a pretty limited material/colour schemes. still haven’t done a bespoke, and at 850, it will be a while too.
