Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
The Air Force 1 has been one of sneaker culture's defining objects since 1982 — the first Nike shoe to use Air cushioning, and the shoe that built its own mythology in basketball and hip-hop before becoming simply ubiquitous. The Digital Air Force 1 Mid takes that silhouette and rebuilds it entirely from upcycled e-waste and found materials, transforming circuit boards, wires, and reclaimed components into something that reads as both a sneaker and an electronic artifact.
Part of an early series exploring the intersection of sneaker culture and sustainability, this is the original piece — completed in February 2016 — the foundation of a body of work that grew to include over half a dozen variants.
Materials: Upcycled e-waste; circuit boards; wire; found components.
Dimensions: 8.25"H × 4.25"W × 11.5"D — Men's 10.0 shoe size
Edition: Limited Edition 1 of 1 — signed with certificate of authenticity
