Karabo Poppy Brings South African Vibes to the Nike Air Force 1Release: 7 November 2019
Fresh from the coveted Air Force 1 team-up with Cactus Plant Flea Market, Nike have unveiled their latest Nike By You collaboration – and it features the low-top AF-1 once again.
The upcoming colab sees the Swoosh joining forces with award-winning artist Karabo Poppy. Taking inspiration from her South African roots, Poppy has hit the Air Force 1 with nods to the likes of traditional African beaded bracelets and the barbershop/beauty salon posters that line the streets in her hometown. The results see a variety of available motifs, not to mention custom lace jewels and the addition of looped heel pull tabs to the silhouette.
Customisation options hit Nike By You on November 7.
