Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 Pedro in Paris *UPDATED*
Though the 25th Anniversary of the Air Force 1 is over, Nike is set to release several collaborative Air Force 1s during the sneaker's 26th Anniversary. Set to release later this year, Nike has linked up with Pedro Winter aka Busy P to create the "Pedro In Paris" Nike Air Force 1. Busy P is an electro house DJ, Producer, manager (Daft Punk) and owner of Ed Banger records. In creating the "Pedro in Paris" Nike Air Force 1, Busy P used the classic silhouette as a literal canvas to capture his thoughts while designing the sneaker, doodling cartoons and phrases throughout the Premium Black Leather upper, including a small paragraph detailing his struggle to keep the design simple. After "saving" the upper by "keeping it black", Busy P admits to not being able to "save" the midsole which features a Rainbow gradient. The Pedro in Paris Nike Air Force 1 is topped with a Blue Patent Swoosh and a Pink lining.
