The new limited edition CLOT x NikeLab silk footwear collaboration has a delicate and refined aesthetic which is linked to a special hydro-dipping technique. For these ultra-luxurious silhouettes, which take on the construction of the Nike Air Force 1s, CLOT taps into custom manufacturer MAPLEWOOD MFG. At a retail price of $450, the limited edition silk footwear calls for exclusivity and impeccable craftsmanship. While the first model features a starred upper, the second exhibits an intricate spider web. These patterns are superimposed on the luxe silk footwear through hydro-dipping — a form of water transfer printing.
Without a doubt, the NikeLab x CLOT Silk Air Force 1s will be a well-sought after design for sneakerheads. They will be available for purchase at the newly opened JUICE LA store on August 5th.
