Procell is a vintage store location in New York City and it recently worked in collaboration with Nike to create its own iteration of the signature Air Force 1 sneakers. The shoes are a part of the Nike NYC Edition series and it features a ca, shorts, long sleeve shirt, hoodie, an Air Force 1, and a Blazer Low sneaker.
The ongoing collaborative project works alongside numerous local creators, including the latest Procell collaboration. The colorway highlights a blend of both Desert Ore and Muslin, adorned with a stitched tongue patch and DIY aesthetics informed with a painted logo. The all-over tan hue is contrasted by the textured muslin over the uppers to give subtle detailing to the muted piece.
