Berlin-based illustrator Ruohan Wang brings her whimsical illustrations to three classic Nike silhouettes - the Nike Air Force 1, the Air Max 90 and the Blazer Mid '77. This pack features Nike's Flyleather uppers that are made with at least 50% recycles leather fiber.
“The earth belongs to every person. Every culture is part of this global mission to protect it,” says Ruohan. “Given my Chinese background and my artistic training in Berlin, it felt right to present that motivation born out of many cultures.”
And that is the base of Ruohan's collection. The color and motion is meant to resemble the earth's natural forces and two-part balance that reflects her upbringing. On the Air Force 1 and the Blazer ’77, Chinese characters that mean “natural circulation” and “power and love” are printed on the midsoles.
The collection will be available on SNKRS and select retailers, September 24th.
