We got first images of Riccardo Tisci x Nike last week, and now the Givenchy Creative Director took to Instagram to unveil the entire sneaker collection. We were pretty fucking worried about these after seeing the super high-top sneaker boot style, but we can now see that the offering will also include colorful version of the Air Force 1 Hi and Air Force 1 low, all of which seem to follow a similar color scheme as Givenchy's Africa-inspired Spring/Summer 2014 collection. A release date is still unknown although we know the high-top boot will retail for $225.
On the collection, Riccardo states:
“The shoe is universal yet somehow very personal. I travel all over the world, and I see people wearing the Air Force 1, and they wear it in so many different ways. And so I was thinking, what is the essence of the Air Force 1? And how do I take that essence and make my own statement? The Air Force 1 is not about gender, it’s not about a particular city, nor is it about a certain style. The community decides. It’s democratic. It’s love.”
Update: Riccardo Tisci x Nike is slated for a March 1 release in white, while a black colorway will drop April 1.
