This summer’s ultimate competition inspired Nike design to explore eras of monumental sport moments. They turned to the legendary year, 1948, when competitive sport was released from its global hiatus.

Ventile is a material developed in Manchester during that era. Initially applied to immersion suits, Ventile, is a woven fabric that is naturally waterproof and windproof with an impeccable resistance to tearing and fire – ideal in survival situations.

The resilient material allows for less component parts in the Air Force 1, providing a slimmer look and feel to the wearer while an innovative cushioning system allows for more flexibility throughout the sole. A Tyvek tongue tab marked with 17-18, the street number of Comme des Garcons’ London Dover Street Market location, is a nod to the race day numbers worn by competitive runners.

The DSM AF1 is created in two colors – classic navy and summer ecru – to work with any wardrobe staple.

The DSM AF1s will be available at select retailers, Dover Street Market, and Commes des Garcon locations in London, NYC, Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul, as well as, LA, Chicago, Miami, Milan, Berlin, Amsterdam, Beijing, and Singapore.
