Partly inspired the 2006 version of the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss Of Death”, which was Nike’s first collaboration with CLOT, the 2013 variant features a more modern look with the Nike Hyperfuse design to reduce the weight of the shoe and an open mesh upper, in reference to the previous version’s transparent TPU vamp.
At first glance, many would think that this pair is a pretty plain and boring one. But on the contrary, this shoe is full of minor small details that makes us sneakerheads go insane over. For example, the sockliner features a 12-meridian graphic as a nod to Chinese medicine and the sneakers sport the character “Shen” as a reference to Shanghai which is coupled with a pair of embroidered wreath with the emblem from CLOT. To add more flavor to the concept, Nike added graphics of “two feet” on the footwear’s icy translucent outsoles.
This cool and slick light grey pair will be dropping today at JUICE KL, and from what we heard, there is already a pretty long queue outside the store. So if you’re planning to get a pair, either call in some favors or prepare to pay top dollar for this pair.
