AF1 Polka Dot

Nike keeps 'em coming. If you don't know this already, Air Force Ones happen to be one of my favorite shoes. I don't really know why. Maybe it's the simple design, or the big, bold panels or just the fact that you feel like a king while wearing them, but they're fantastic. They've also got tons of designers coming up with new shit to slap on them. The newest design is the Polka Dot by Hiroshi Fujiwara. It's a AF1 Premium '07, and it's a chunky one.




See those edges? See how they're rolled back under? That's fucking premium.
updated laces ring.
Company logo in place of the normal Nike Air tounge tag.
See how smooth that is? See that all-over mesh lining?. Your shoes don't have that. My shoes don't have that. You know what that is? That shit is premium.
Certificate of Authenticity that comes with the new Air Force Ones. Don't be sold a fake! (You might want to click to see a larger version of this)
The wrapping paper has stars embossed on it. Well, the premium shoes have that. Apparently different level shoes have different paper.

The shoe also comes with a pendant with Bruce Kilgore's (the designer of the original Air Force One) signature.
Oh, and it also comes in white.

Phat?
Phat.

Want a pair?
3 bills.

Jer's lucky he can't find a pair in 13 or he'd be broke. However, I'm still planning on picking up a pair of premiums somewhere along the road.
Edit: looks like the picture won't work
I'll fix that tomorrow

Nike is celebrating the twenty-fifth year of Air Force Ones this year and they've already started with some exclusive shit. A while ago they had an invite-only party for the shoe with Kanye as a musical guest and all that. They also announced six new limited styles designed to reflect the "Original 6" players of the Air Force One team.
