London-based custom sneaker studio Made Black launches a new iteration of the iconic Nike Air Force 1 sneaker in 'BLACK FLAWA.' The brand applies a unique pattern of the signature sneaker and gives it more dimension in a tonal manner for the season.
It blends hand-cut and sewn florals that entirely update the silhouette and do so in a all-tonal visual. The flowers are prominent on the lateral and medial mid-panel side of the shoe. The components that retain the same design are the heel tab, lace dubrae, and the tongue tag. The entire silhouette from the top to bottom is coated in a black hue for a minimal yet bold design statement for the season, with the same comfortable fit.
