Celebrating a remarkable 15-year journey in the sneaker industry, Cincinnati's pride and joy, Corporate, is marking its anniversary in an extraordinary way. This beloved sneaker boutique, founded by Matt Tomamichel, has unveiled its exclusive collaboration with the Jordan Brand and the Nike Air Ship.
Set to drop on Friday, September 8, 2023; this release is not just a shoe—it's a love letter to Cincinnati, the city that sparked Tomamichel's dreams and has supported Corporate's growth from a single location to additional outposts in neighboring Indianapolis and Dayton.
The Corporate x Nike Air Ship is not your everyday sneaker; it’s a piece of art, a mark of excellence crafted with materials that elevate it far above the ordinary. The shoe exudes a unique combination of rich textures and vibrant teal colorway, chosen to symbolize greatness, excellence, renewal, and royalty. Thoughtfully designed, subtle details woven throughout the shoe are constant reminders to the wearer of their roots, journey, and greatness within.
Every pair comes with more than exquisite sneakers; a story card in each box narrates Tomamichel's tale of resilience and dedication to his community—qualities that have fueled his two-decade-long success in retail. His own words encapsulate the awe of this accomplishment: "If you would have told the teenaged Matt working at Footlocker that he would one day have his own successful sneaker business and create a sneaker with his favorite brand, Jordan, he’d call you crazy," Tomamichel reflects.
But this collaboration is more than a monumental business milestone; it’s a community affair. As part of the campaign launch for the Corporate Jordan Air Ship, the Corporate team is extending its reach beyond retail, mobilizing the community through a series of workshops conducted by its non-profit arm, Bigger Than Sneakers. This initiative underscores Corporate’s commitment to being more than just a place to buy shoes—it's a cornerstone of its community, fostering connection and growth at every level.
The Corporate x Nike Air Ship will make its grand debut at 10 am on September 8th in Corporate stores located in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Dayton.
For those outside these locations, pairs will hit select Nike NBHD retailers on September 15th.
