Nike Sample Air Force 1 Hyperstrike 1World CLOT, 2009 | Nike x CLOT 1World Air Force 1 Hyperstrike 限量版樣品鞋，2009年

Nike’s 1World series first began in 2008 to re-imagine the AF1 through global collaborations with renowned innovators in the fields of sports, music, art and design. This model from 2009 is among the most coveted of all the partnerships and is extremely rare because of the limited release that was exclusive to Shanghai and Hong Kong. This example is even rarer, as it is a sample of the now famed production run.  

CLOT co-founders Edison Chen and Kevin Poon’s design celebrated the Lunar New Year and reflects the brand’s Chinese roots. The unique build features CLOT Royale Deluxe red silk fabric that can be burned, cut, scratched, or torn to reveal dark brown leather underneath. CLOT has shared their intention behind the the double layer was a reminder to look beyond the surface and “search for what lies within.” Red symbolizes luck, happiness, and prosperity and is an integral part of Lunar New Year celebrations. The matching pattern of the silk and leather is inspired by thousand-year-old Chinese decorative designs.

Originally released in 1982, the Air Force 1 is named after the presidential aircraft. Designed by Bruce Kilgore, it was the first basketball shoe to feature revolutionary air pocket technology. Today it is one of Nike’s most iconic, best selling sneakers.

2008年，Nike AF1與全球知名運動員、歌手、藝術家及設計師合作推出1World系列。本次上拍的鞋款出自2009年，在所有聯乘款式中備受追捧。這個款式當年在上海和香港限量發售，因此十分罕見。而本次上拍的一雙貴為這個款式的樣品鞋，更加珍貴。

這個獨特的鞋款由CLOT創辦人陳冠希和潘世亨共同設計，凸顯中國農曆新年的節慶色彩和自家品牌的中國風路線。印滿CLOT標誌圖案的紅絲綢包覆整個鞋面，只要灼燒、剪開、刮開或撕開表層，就可以露出底下的深棕色皮革。CLOT的雙層設計寓意看破表面，「尋找內在美」。紅色象徵福氣和繁榮興旺，在農曆新年期間隨處可見。絲綢和皮革上的圖案相同，靈感來自中國古代紋飾。

Air Force 1在1982年推出，以美國總統專機命名。它由Bruce Kilgore設計，是史上第一款採用氣墊技術的籃球鞋，時至今日已成為Nike最暢銷的經典系列之一。
