NIKE AF-1 x CLOT


To welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year, Nike has teamed up with Clot to launch the lucky-red inspired Nike Clot Air Force 1. The ClOT AF-1 pays tribute to the themes of luck, happiness and prosperity.

The upper-shoe is made from RED ROYALE DELUXE SILK with embroidered CLOT graphics inspired by Chinese prints. This layer can also be torn, burned or peeled off revealing a dark brown leather bottom layer. Clot's trademark graphics are also embroidered in the leather layer.



The Nike Clot Air Force 1 comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the packaging is a hexagonal red box with a tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.


***Also, this shoe comes in a black colorway, with matte-black color details and shoe laces
