Dave Chappelle Gets Custom Nike Air Force 1s
Ah, the Nike Air Force 1, much like the Dunk Low, a timeless classic that’s been endlessly recreated, yet continues to hold widespread appeal, transcending all the added embellishments. The most recent addition to its legacy is a design that stays remarkably true to the original, save for one small modification: the addition of a Chappelle’s Show logo on the heel counter.
This all-white leather upper, coupled with a natural gum outsole, was expertly crafted by Coltrane Curtis, the founder of marketing agency Team Epiphany, with the assistance of DJ Clark Kent. The purpose? To create a special pair for Dave Chappelle in preparation for his upcoming Netflix special. In Curtis’ own words on Instagram, “So… I Did A Thing For Dave.
Yeah, THAT Dave!” Dave Chappelle sought out a unique pair of kicks, white AF1s with the classic “C” logo detail. The challenge? They had just one week to bring this vision to life. So, what did they do? They turned to none other than the highly-regarded sneakerhead, DJ Clark Kent, who responded with confidence, “This is what I do. Say Less.” It’s a testament to the power of influence over influencers. The result? Pure fire. #thelist. Only five pairs were created, all in size 12, and they’re all for Dave Chappelle.
