In case you didn’t know, it allows artists and musicians to design their own version of the classic Air Force One model. The pair shown here were design by Feride Uslu, a Berlin based artist. These are inspired by Uslu Airlines, which is known for a cosmetic grade airbrush system and high quality nail polish.The next artist to contribute to the Nike 1World Air Force 1 project is none other than Feride Uslu, a high profiled make-up artist that was born & raised in Berlin, Germany. Feride Uslu is known for working with companies such as GQ and Vogue where she using high-tech cosmetic airbrushes and high quality nail polishes on various models. Aside from her cosmetic duties she also owns & operates an airline which goes by the name Uslu Airlines.
The Feride Uslu x Air Force 1 (One) incorporates a unique theme inspired by the Uslu Airlines. The sneaker is covered in premium grey leather, and features an inner lining made of the same sheep materials used in airplane pilot seats. The tongue tags and tongue are neon green/yellow to represent the signal colors of the aviation towers, and the security vests of airport employees. The laces are white/pink to represent the cords of a parachute and the velcro strap that’s label with ” Feride Uslu” resembles the seat belts in airplanes. To top it all off the Nike swoosh is made of 3M material.This time around, the Air Force One Mid is the model of choice, as the low version seems to be more popular. They feature a grey upper constructed from leather along with perforations on the toebox. The green logo on the tag and yellow tongue are reminiscent of signal colors seen on the towers at the airport where the airline does business.
The white and pink laces are modeled after parachute cords while the strap is modeled after the seat belts on the plane. Highlighting the shoes is the sheep-like material on the inner lining, which is similar to what is seen on the pilots’ chairs in the cockpit.
