To welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year, Nike has teamed up with Clot to launch the lucky-red inspired Nike Clot Air Force 1, the auspicious addition to the Nike 1World AF1 Project.
The Nike Clot Air Force 1 pays tribute to the themes of luck, happiness and prosperity — as represented by the color red — which prevail during traditional Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.
The highlight peel-off double-layer design feature was created to inspire people to seek beyond the superficial, to search for what lies within. The Clot design team explains: “We need to remember to never judge simply by what you see.”
The Nike Clot Air Force 1 comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the Nike Clot Air Force 1 packaging is a hexagonal red box with a partitioned tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.

CLOT Nike 1World Air Force 1. This shoe will be released on Jan. 16, 2009, at Juice in Hong Kong. ACU in Shanghai will also sell this shoe.
The shoe upper is made from Clot Royale Deluxe Silk. This is a textile that is traditionally associated with the Chinese. The textile has embroidered Clot graphics, which are Clot’s trademarked illustrations. These graphics are inspired by Chinese prints that were found in historical documents about 1000 years ago. The red colored upper shoe layer can be peeled off. The second layer underneath is a dark brown leather. The same Clot Chinese graphic prints are now lasered on the leather layer.
The shoe has a sock liner. This is inspired by the traditional green and white paper. The black accents are made in the matte-black leather details and black shoe laces. The white midsole and red outsole complete the look of this sneaker.
Clot and Nike created the special peel off double layer feature to encourage people to search through the superficial, to get inside what lies beneath. This Nike Clot Air Force 1 is sold in a special “Chinese Candy Box.”
