Nike 1World Air Force 1-Yi Jianlian

[executive76]

Nike's global 1World initiative seeks to pair up some of the world's most inventive artists andathletes with timeless Beaverton silhouettes. New Jersey Nets big man Yi Jianlian recently got his time to shine, designing his own Nike Air Force One (1). The lowtop's beige upper is cleverly separated into woven and faux-crocodilepremium leather parts and offset by a chocolate outsole. Jianlian's flaming "Yi" logo resides on the heel tab. Unfortunately, it's likelythat these scorchers won't reach US retail soil anytime soon; they're slated to release on May 17 in China.

These are dope remind me of some older AF1s

They ok

 

[nublee]

why does Nike continue dishing out sneakers for this bum?

these are nice, but I wouldn't able to get past the fact that they're made for a player who hasn't made an impact in the nba yet

 

[thadoogal23]

Probably cos they shift units in China with him...

These are quite nice but for the hassle of getting them......

yeah the AF1 woven Lux and the croc skin HTMs from a few years ago:





personally,i'm not really feeling those Yi Jianlian Forces...i'd rather see something unique and different from the 1Worldseries(CLOT,Pedro Winter or the Maharam's

)...
