Hiroshi Fujiwara's AF1's

Now now, here's one elusive pair of AF1s. It goes without saying because they're the only pair in the world. It was designed and crafted by Nike for the one and only, Hiroshi Fujiwara. For those of you who’ve never heard of him, Hiroshi is like the founding father of fashion in Japan. The DJ-turned-designer pioneered the limited-edition craze in collaborations with Nike (HTM), Burton (iDiom), and Levi’s (Fenom), while developing fly brands of his own like GoodEnough and Head Porter at the same time. Along the way, he’s made music with Eric Clapton, mentored a kid named Nigo (A Bathing Ape/BAPE), and even popped up next to Scarlett Johansson in Lost In Translation.

Back to the shoe. It comes with gold lacelocks and a bracelet, and incase you start thinking anything less of it, it's 18k gold. A bling with a punch if I might add. Whoop-ass!
