Celine Get Inspired By The Air Force 1
There's no denying that the most talked about model from French luxury fashion brand Celine's new footwear collection has taken inspiration from a sneaker classic. Bearing a similar beefy white midsole to the Air Force 1, the calfskin upper is also arranged in a similar panelling construction and there's a very familiar angle collar strap too. There's three colours, caramel, tan and chocolate and they're all just for the little foots and ladies. So, ? Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci used the AF1 as the canvas for his , and there's no doubt Tisci's contemporaries are keeping tabs on what he's doing, but putting a shoe together takes a bit of time so maybe this is more of a coincidence. Either way, it means the is clearly a silhouette that appeals to high fashion designers as having a lot of potential. While the Nike OG version has never really left the streets as a standard classic, it has undoubtedly lost some of its lustre as a coveted shoe, could all this activity around it change that? We'll have to wait and see. You can buy the Celine Calfskin Sneaker from stockists.
