Matthew M. William's 1017 ALYX 9SM fashion label works in collaboration with Nike on a pair of the Air Force 1 High sneakers. The classic silhouette boasts slight updates that are infused with avant-garde touches. The design language is elevated through components such as minimal branding and the iconic rollercoaster buckle by 1017 ALYX 9SM.
The sneaker was originally showcased during Paris Fashion Week when Williams unveiled his Fall/Winter 2020 runway show in January. The shoe comes in two black colorway options and is constructed from premium tumbled leather materials for a durable and textural look. One of which is complete in all-black and the other delivers a contrasting white Swoosh along the side. Both shoes are rounded out with a aluminium buckle over the front and gold stencil at the heel.
