Mayumi Yamase x Nike Air Force 1 Flyleather
Highlighting more creative applications through circular design is the Summer 2021 Nike Flyleather collection, Tokyo-born artist Mayumi Yamase gives his Air Force 1 a whimsical makeover.
The pair starts with a simple white base, a perfect canvas on which to draw. And Yamase, thanks in part to this, can fully adapt her current style, adding muted, rust brown tones to the lateral Swoosh and nondescript shapes the side opposite.
What’s more, thick indigo embroideries accent the latter adjacent, creating subtle yet still noticeable layers of dimension. Branding lenses through identical aesthetics, forgoing their typical refinement for one more reflective of the aforementioned motifs. The sole and box follow suit, though they’re both more replete with the artist’s designs.
