Nike presents once again an Air Force 1 for the Black History Month 2009. This is certainly one of the nicer releases we have seen over the years for the occasion, because Nike worked with smart and subtle details on the upper.
“This limited edition sneaker features a predominately black leather upper with red and green accents on the inner lining, tongue and heel. The latter area also features the centennial logo of the African American culture surrounded by 44 stars. Obviously, this sneaker contains the same colorway of the African-American flag. More red and green is seen in the form of contrast stitching seen throughout the upper. To finish it off, this sneaker is complimented with a icy, clear sole. Supposedly, this feature represents the marble courtroom floors of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the African American culture won many civil rights battles. This release is all the more interesting seeing that 2009 marks the 100th year anniversary of the NAACP’s existence.” Via Nicekicks/The305.

Is that a joke about the sole representing “the marble courtroom floors of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the African American culture won many civil rights battles”? Um, it’s just a clear outsole. Is marble clear? I wish people would stop over-conceptualising parts of shoes. I’d love to have seen the meetings where they tried to work out how the hell to justify the clear sole as part of the concept – especially when that concept appears to be just piggybacking off social issues in order to make money out of shoes…
