FLY Streetwear x Nike SB AF-1

FLY Streetwear links up with Nike SB to introduce the all-new Nike SB Air Force 1 City Pack. Bringing together four core skate shops from across the globe—FLY (Shanghai), Instant (Tokyo), Nocturnal (Philadelphia), and Ben G (Amsterdam)—the project takes the Nike SB Air Force 1 as a shared canvas, bridging global street cultures through distinct colorways and custom shop signatures.

Nike's city-themed projects are deeply rooted in sneaker culture. When the Air Force 1 debuted in 1982, it quickly crossed over from the hardwood to the pavement, cementing itself as an undeniable icon of New York street culture and beyond.

Over the years, Nike continued weaving city names, localized details, and cultural narratives into its classic silhouettes through various City Packs—transforming footwear from purely athletic gear into a genuine vehicle for urban storytelling.

As street and skate cultures grew hand-in-hand, this approach naturally evolved into deeper partnerships with local brands, retail doors, and grassroots skate communities. Today, each pair stands for far more than an aesthetic design—it carries the distinct cultural imprint and collective memory of the city it calls home.

Nike 的城市主题企划有着深厚的球鞋文化背景。1982 年，Air Force 1 正式诞生，并在随后的发展中逐渐从篮球场走向街头，成为纽约等城市街头文化的重要符号。

此后，Nike不断将城市名称、地域特色与文化故事融入经典鞋型，推出不同形式的 City Pack，让鞋款从单纯的运动装备延伸为城市文化的载体。

随着街头与滑板文化的发展，这一概念也逐渐延伸至当地品牌、零售商及滑板社群的合作，让每双鞋不仅代表一种设计风格，更承载着不同城市独有的文化记忆。

For this release, FLY Streetwear goes with a crisp white and yellow colorway. Yellow serves as the most striking cautionary color on the streets—instantly recognizable from no-parking markings and curb edges to public transit vehicles. White, on the other hand, pays homage to the storefront facade of FLY’s very first brick-and-mortar shop back in 1999.

本次 FLY Streetwear 联名版本采用白黄配色。黄色是街头最醒目的警示色，常见于马路禁行线、路缘边界、公共交通车辆等；白色则是 FLY 1999 年首家店铺的门面颜色。

The concrete desktop accessory included with the shoe is modeled after the yellow parking blocks found in lots everywhere. To the city, it’s just everyday infrastructure meant to mark where a car must stop; but through a skater’s eyes, it’s a natural street obstacle where pure passion comes alive.

随鞋附送的水泥桌面摆件的原型，是停车场里随处可见的黄色限位路牙。它本是城市的基础设施，划定了停车的终点；但在滑手眼中，它是街头天然的滑板道具，无数热爱在此发生。
