Nike Air Force II “Nintendo Wii” Colorway

nike air force 2 ii nintendo wii 1 Nike Air Force II Nintendo Wii Colorway

Somewhat reminiscent to the ESPO release from some years ago, this latest creation from Nike definitely goes over the top, in a good way of course. Taking inspiration from the highly interactive Nintendo Wii, Nike hooks up their classic Air Force II silhouette with a load of detailing. Standout features include translucent circuit paneling, clear paneling/midsoles, and even a hint of ostrich skin amongst a clean white/blue backdrop with and on/off switch for the tongue. Slated for a Spring/Summer release, expect these to hit Upper Tier/Nike Sportswear retailers in the coming months.

Despite the numerous renditions of the Medicom Toy Bearbrick figure that have released over the years, off the top of our heads few have been marked by the sheer simplicity of this BLACK COMME des GARCONS-designed version. The special BLACK CdG project that took over the previous space held by the COMME des GARCONS x Louis Vuitton store in Aoyama features a capsule of co-branded products with Medicom Toy that have included basic items such as tees, button-ups and backpacks. Referring back to the Bearbrick, the toy comes in a black velvet finish with the BLACK COMME des GARCONS branding on the back. Available now in 100% form at BOBOS.
