We had queues all around Asia for the launch of the CLOT x Nikelab Silk Air Force 1 on Friday February 2nd, 2018.

CLOT and Nikelab have collaborated to launch the iconic Air Force 1 in this exclusive Silk rendition this February, 2018. The Silk Air Force 1 is themed around traditional themes of luck, happiness and prosperity.

For a shoe that almost didn’t make it past its first year, we take a look at the history behind one of Nike’s most timeless kicks.

In 2009, the Nike 1World Campaign delivered an Air Force 1 with CLOT, reaching deep into the brand’s Chinese roots.
