In South Africa, Nike invited local artists Danielle Clough, aka Fiance Knowles, and Nokana “Dodo” Mojapelo, to use the Air Force 1 as a blank canvas to express their creative prowess.
Let take this time to look at the entire ‘Fiance Knowles’ Nike Air Force 1 Summer Salad Collection.
Fiance Knowles is a multitalented photographer, designer, and embroiderer, world-renowned for creating incredible artworks with her needle and thread. Her new take on this traditional craft evokes a sense of nostalgia and old world charm with a revived relevance to high fashion.
Her one-of-a-kind “Summer Salad” Nike triple white AF-1s feature a variety of rich summer fruits intricately embroidered in splashes of bright colors, perfect for sunny South African days – whether it’s on the court or out on the street.
