Nike AF-1 x CLOT

These are some sweet shoes. Created in collaboration with Hong Kong based designers Clot, this pair of Air Force 1s is my favourite from the 1World collection so far. The shoe celebrates Chinese New Year, hence the red (which symbolises prosperity). The outer layer is made from traditional brocade and can be removed to reveal a brown leather layer underneath lasered with Clot's trademark graphics. It also comes in a Chinese candy box (sweets are given at New Year).

I'm salivating a little bit. OK, a lot. Shame they're only available in China, and cost about £250!
