You love chelsea boots yeah? Today we get even more images of the Riccardo Tisci x Nike Chelsea Chukka as well as an update of what the shoe is actually called.
Now known as the Riccardo Tisci x Nike Air Zoom Legend, the shoe a an exclusive collab that comes win a Black upper contrasted by the hits of White noted on the branding and most of the midsole. If you take a look at the lower portion of the heel you will find an array of colors that help give the shoe a nice pop.
This is what Riccardo had to say when it came to the inspiration behind the collaboration: “very Tisci–it is very much me. The rubber heel and sole are very Nike but with a new interpretation inspired by a futuristic take on Brazil, waves, and movement. The front side is more classic, a sort of opposite of sports. Chelsea boots are my obsession in the male wardrobe. This is a strong shoe with a dual contrast and an experimental style. And the heel had to be important–its aesthetic has always represented strength since ancient Greece, where Achilles’s heel represented the human male force.”
The Riccardo Tisci x Nike Air Zoom Legend was available exclusively at the new NikeLab store at 21 Mercer Street in New York on November 11th. Retail price tag was set at $350 and is now sold out. Did you manage to get a pair? If you need one, Kixify has a couple listings.
