nike air force 1 i.d. ( limited edition elephant print )

a day after neil received his i.d's a package arrived at whitfield towers.

as you know, i'm pretty much running n7 these days.

the reveal...

seriously... elephant print all over... why not ?

though i thought long and hard about a sail midsole and gum out,

in the end i plumped for a black mid and an ice outsole

as you know, i love an ice outsole. it can appear to be almost invisible

from certain angles, giving the shoes the appearance of floating.

also it takes on slight properties from the midsole used with it...

so an ice sole used with a black mid, looks different to an ice out

used alongside a white mid... or a gum mid.

the limited edition elephant print leather is pretty sweet

it's quite a thick material and also it feels a little suede-ey if you know what i mean.

i even used elephant print for the tongue

and ran with grey laces ( with silver tips )

the elephant print heel tab nicely hides the grey stitched nike air and swoosh

textbook behaviour from me... i can't be doing with branded heel tabs

here's a good look at the materials.

elephant print, black mid with grey stitching, ice out, grey laces and silver dubres.

teamed up with some selvedge denim and the streets of n7 will soon be heated

all day every day.
