The Nike 1World project already saw interesting releases in its first month with Air Force 1’s by Busy P, Nitro Microphone Underground and Rasheed Wallace. The July release seems to be the real banger though. First images of an Air Force 1 designed by artist Kaws started surfacing months ago and rumors in the Internet started on whether it will actually be coming out. Well, it is and very soon.
The Air Force 1 designed by Kaws comes in black and features neon yellow accents on the laces, transparent sole as well as in the form of Kaws cross eyes on the stitching and the tongue tag. A very clean sneaker that will be flying out of the shelves faster than you can look.
After the jump detailed images of the shoe.

Nitro Microphone Underground got together with Nike once again to work on an Air Force 1. This time they used a digital camo pattern on the upper and the turnout is definitely nice.
