Harlem's Fashion Row & Foot Locker Invite Black Designers to Reimagine the Nike Air Force 1 for Charity

The Nike Air Force 1 has long cemented itself as one of the most iconic sneakers of all-time. Although the "presidential" silhouette has lived many lives since debuting in 1982, it remains closely associated to New York City and in particular Harlem.

To commemorate the its House on Martha's Vineyard pop-up, Harlem's Fashion Row (HFR) has teamed up with Foot Locker to invite five visionary Black designers to reimagine the popular sneaker. One-of-one designs transcend sport to become wearable, culturally-charged pieces of art.

The collaborators are auctioning off 10 pairs of custom Air Force 1s, with proceeds benefitting UNCF, an organization that's been dedicated empowering students who will shape the future.

You can bid on any design until today, Aug. 14, at 3 p.m. EDT by visiting this website.
