Saturday marked an epic day for Kevin Hunter and Mayor, two gentlemen known for their amazing collections and dedication to the Air Force 1. Sneaker aficionado DJ Clark Kent presented both guys with their very own “one of” Air Force 1 Low this past Saturday at 21 Mercer Street. Both Kevin and Mayor were unaware that they were being presented the sneakers and were quite surprised by the gift.
The designs come from DJ Clark Kent pairing with the Nike Innovation Kitchen and Nike Sportswear Bespoke designers, Izzy and Mau. Together they were able to tell two stories incorporating important aspects of both Kevins and Mayors lives. Mayor loves Air Force 1s and as he was approaching his 1,000th pair, Nike specially designed this premium AF1 Low in anticipation of that bench mark with gum bottoms, a glow-in-the-dark swoosh, heel tab and 1,000 laser etched “1s” on the upper. Kevin Hunter’s design originates from his love for his Bentley and incorporates laser etched Bentley logos, the matching color from his car, design cues from the grill, and even a box that matches the wood grain in his ride. Another cool feature on Kevin’s sneaker is that it’s Swooshless and there is just a stitch outline instead.
Again, these are a one of sneaker made for Kevin Hunter and Mayor so we can breath easy knowing that we’ll never get our hands on these. We can still dream though right?

I feel like I really want to like them but it’s hard to. I prefer the 1,000 1s over the Bentleys though all day.
