In December I was given the opportunity to design a sneaker, but not just any sneaker. This sneaker is the greatest sneaker ever made. It’s the greatest sole to ever tread this earth. It’s the sneaker that Moses, The Twelve Disciples and Noah wore in the biblical times. This sneaker is the NIKE AIR FORCE ONE!!!!!!
I had a long history with the Air Force One (AF1). I started wearing AF1’s when I was a freshman in college because at the time I was finally financially independent enough to purchase these long-coveted sneakers. From that point I literally purchased over a hundred pairs of these sneakers. There was a period in my life when t I budgeted $400 per month, strictly to be spent on regularly purchasing multiple pairs of AF1’s. When I noticed that this obsession became unhealthy and expensive to maintain, I decided to switch to a much cheaper, simpler brand of sneaker— the Puma. I made a video vehemently expressing my abandonment of the Air Forces, but I couldn’t stay away from them for long…they were just too beautiful.
Now that I’m getting older and starting to tone down my passion for sneaker collecting, I wanted to go out with a huge bang! I used this unique opportunity to design my dream sneaker, which spent one month of being crafted in a factory overseas and now they are finally in my possession. Here a few pictures of my favorite sneaker ever:
I’d Lick this sneaker.
