Paying homage to the Nike Air Force 1 and its many Swoosh designs over the years, BespokeIND has splashed the silhouette with a colorful take on some of the most popular renditions. References from the likes of NIGO, Virgil Abloh and Tyler, the Creator get patched onto the custom kicks in the shoe customizer’s upcoming release.
Dubbed the Nike Air Force 1 “What The Swoosh,” the bright sneakers are swathed with buttery suede panels that have been coated in a spectrum of bold tones. Among them, shades of cherry red, orange, gold, fuchsia and neon green make for a colorblocked design throughout.
Meanwhile, each Nike check iteration gets a different treatment on every side. BespokeIND layers Abloh’s signature zig-zag version on the medial, while NIGO’s BAPESTA Star and Tyler, the Creator’s GOLF le FLEUR edition hold down the lateral. A crisp white outsole and white laces make for a seamless finish.
Only eight pairs of the sneakers will be available and they officially release at BespokeIND’s website beginning April 22 at 9 p.m. EST.

Eric Emanuel and adidas Originals are back with another sports-influenced collaboration, this time ushering in a romantic side that takes inspiration from floral hotel wallpaper. On a recent trip to Paris, Emanuel recounted his memories of basketball excursions and fashion weeks, leading him to infuse the collection with a rosy print fitted for the springtime.
The 10-piece assortment encompasses apparel and footwear, including track pants, athletic shorts, an anorak, hoodie, headband and two sneakers. Emanuel puts his spin on the Rivalry Hi OG and Restomod silhouettes, offering patterned and solid designs for variety. The Rivalry Hi gets the full floral treatment, which rests on a premium leather upper full of dusty pink details.
Meanwhile, the Restomod is more subdued with a sandy “Linen” foundation. Dark green laces and the adidas Three Stripes branding lend a nod to the natural vibe. The flower-laden motif makes small appearances elsewhere around the shoe, including the tongue, pull tab and heel. Sand tones remain throughout the clothing, while pink accents and floral paneling link back to the wallpaper aesthetic for a head-to-toe look.
“I’ve grown since I was that kid on the road for a tournament; I’ve travelled, I’ve been exposed to a world much bigger and more beautiful than the younger me ever got to see. I find a reference on every trip, and this collection is a reflection of a Spring trip to Paris,” said Emanuel.
Priced between $20 USD – $180 USD, the EE x adidas Originals collection will be available to shop beginning on April 25 at Emanuel’s webstore. It rolls out to specialty retailers such as KITH NY and Extra Butter, as well as adidas’ website, on April 27.
After releasing a set of elevated trainers cloaked in 19th century Chinese textiles, By Walid has draped the silhouette in a crisp white colorway for its latest release. The monochromatic sneaker retains its patched construction throughout, while a milky white base gives it a bleached-out aesthetic.
Distressed fabric swatches are layered along the upper, lending the style a pebbled texture from front to back. The model’s chunky white rubber sole and tonal laces provide a clean, streamlined look. A “By Walid” logo stamped in gold on the heel rounds it out with a luxe detail.
Priced at $573 USD, By Walid’s 19th Century Fabric Sneakers are available to purchase now from Browns’ webstore.

After coating its Samba OG in a velvety “Collegiate Purple” colorway, adidas Originals has now doused the silhouette in a rich “Craft Ochre” and “Gold Met” palette. The sneaker is decked in brown tones throughout and features a full-grain leather upper for a premium look.
Decorative stitching along the toe cap and quarter give the style a textural feel to add variation to the monochromatic scheme. The usual Three Stripes branding sits at the side panel in the same “Craft Ochre” hue, adding to the tonal aesthetic. Gold hits on the “SAMBA” and tongue logos finish the footwear off with a subtle metallic touch.
