The sneakers pictured above are samples and not the final Air Questo. We see a few blogs posting up images featuring gold patent with gold laces on the left shoe. HOWEVER, if your pair does look like those pictured above, that means you are one of 25 lucky people to get the limited limited editions. ?uesto posted the actual press images from Nike on his blog early this morning. Click that link and get the scoop from the man himself. Congrats sir! Follow us after the jump for more details supplied from Nike including info on release parties in NYC, Philly, and LA.
1WORLD is a collection of Air Force 1, created in partnership with global innovators in the fields of sport, music, art & design. Featuring 18 original styles, the collection will be released over the course of eight months and will see the Air Force 1 once again exploring new territory. ?uesto states:
“These Air Questo’s right here are an extension of my personality. Kind of all-over-the-place” said ?uest Love. “I just wanted to start off with a very loud statement, a sneaker that sort of has 12 exclamation points behind it. Something that just screams “Rahhhhrr” so you know, this is an extension of my personality. The inside (of the shoe) is of me drumming. Yeah, inside art is very important to me. Even though you’re the only person that sees it from a consumer standpoint but, I sorta know you put a lot of work into it as a designer based on how your shoe is designed on the sole.”
?uestlove’s Air Questo is the third Air Force 1 created in the US for 1WORLD, and joins Detroit forward Rasheed Wallace and Brooklyn-based artist KAWS as having had the chance to “get up on the AF1” as part of the 1WORLD collection.
The Air Force 1 Air Questo, created for 1WORLD in partnership with ?uestlove will release at:
Alife—New York [August 1st]
Ubiq—Philadelphia [August 5th]
Nike Sportswear at The Montalban—Los Angeles [August 6th]
