The Nike AF-1 All For 1- Chicago Is Coming This December

Ticara Davis November 21, 2019

If you're like me then you grew up copping a brand new pair of Nike Air Force 1 lows for school. It became a staple in my rotation and it still is to this day. If you read any of my interviews you'll hear how this is my favorite sneaker, if it was up to us Chicagoans we would say this sneaker belongs to us.

This season, Nike will be celebrating communities in NYC, LA and Chicago that bring people together and move their community forward. In Chicago, the sneaker was inspired by the barbershop community. And if you're from Chicago then you've heard of Drew Henderson also known as Drew The Barber, the owner of No Cuts No Glory. Drawing inspo from Drew's life and inspiration, we see the Nike AF-1 All For 1 - Chicago.

THE DETAILS

  1. The Nike AF1 features high quality tumbled leather with rolled edges, an execution that is very functional so that hair being cut can be easily removed.

  2. Wax laces not only look beautiful on the shoe but ensure that that fallen hair will not get trapped. The lace tips represents the traditional barbershop pole, but the standard royal blue was replaced with light blue, a nod to the Chicago flag.

  3. There’s a pony hair back tab was added as a premium fixture and represents the hair that barbers cut daily, duh.

  4. The front tongue tag features a visual of the Nike swoosh and the Chicago skyline that transitions into the silhouette of a comb. The top of the tongue includes a small white edge to represent the white tissue paper barbers use around customer’s necks. The inner-lining of the tongue is nylon red and white pinstripe, a nod to the classic barbershop cape used by Drew and many others.

  5. A metallic silver deubré was chosen to represent the razor blades.

  6. The outsole is an ice blue with a black and white diamond pattern that reflects classic barbershop flooring.

  7. The green insert was added as a symbol of Drew’s first barber chair when he first opened up his shop – an egg-white chair with green accents.

“It means so much to me to be involved with the production of a shoe that represents some of the most important things in my life: Chicago, the barbershop and the community. I’ve had a passion for cutting hair my entire life and, while I never thought to myself I’d be able to inspire a shoe, it is an honor to shine a spotlight on the city, industry and community that made me who I am and motivate me every day. I share this with all of them" said Drew.

The sneaker will be sold in select Chicago retail locations and on Nike.com starting December 7, 2019.

The Nike Air Max Plus 3, The Tn3 Returns

Ticara Davis November 12, 2019

The Nike Air Max Plus 3 is making a return in it’s OG form and I’m intrigued. I’ve never had a pair of these and the shape is what’s selling me immediately on them. According to Nike News, this sneaker was a huge success in the UK and could be seen accompanied with their streetwear style and night life. “The Tn3 was as comfortable accenting the Italian luxury streetwear of the day as it was complementing a baggy tracksuit.” Sounds like the sneaker had duality and that’s what we should all be into right? Something that can be worn multiple ways and reside in different spaces.

The sneaker is already available on SNEAKRS, Foot Locker and select retailers. The Hyper Violet and Wolf Grey versions drop November 30 at nike.com, Foot Locker and select retailers.

Might need to add a pair of these to the rotation.
