It feels as though Jacquemus can’t go wrong lately, as the label continues to create the most fantastic work. Scheduled to drop tomorrow (on their website) is the JF1, a collaboration with Nike, which combines the silhouettes of the Air Force 1 and the NIKE ACG Terra, the latter being Simon Porte Jacquemus’ favorite Nike shoes.
It’s interesting how Simon put his spin on the silhouette. There’s the the very petit, metal swoosh, the leather tabs at the end of the laces, and the way the “laces” help to marry the uppers and the sole beds which gives the shoe such a unique silhouette. Do I want a pair of these in white? Very much so. Will I be able to afford these? Sadly, the answer is probably no. I also need to mention the ad campaign teasing the release (at bottom) which is this like, high-contrast, cult marching through the desert energy. I’m not sure how this exactly ties into the release though I’m really loving the drama of it all.
