Who Decides War x Nike Air Force 1

The 40th anniversary of the famous NIKE AIR FORCE 1 silhouette is celebrated through special editions and exclusive collabs. In addition to the versions of the late Virgil Abloh and the Louis Vuitton brand, Billie Eilish or KITH (articles available on this site), WHO DECIDES WAR teases its own reinterpretation of the legendary model designed by Bruce Kilgore.

First of all, a little background on the WHO DECIDES WAR label.

Everard Best aka Ev ou Murder Bravado is the founder of the brand formerly known as Ev Bravado.

The aspiring designer grew up in his father’s tailor shop on Long Island where he soaked up the style and learned the basics of tailoring. Best stated : « I learned everything I know about garment construction from my dad ». It was in 2011, while still a student, that he began making samples in his family’s home and launched his first brand, LEASE ON LIFE, later called Ev Bravado. The first collection, consisting of jeans, hoodies and graphic t-shirts in a bold and bright color palette, sold out entirely on his website and via Instagram.

Everard Best is the creative brain behind the brand now called WHO DECIDES WAR. He works with financial and design partner Tela D’Amore to « change the culture » and bring streetwear pieces sporting a sophisticated elevation. His reinterpretation of denim : meticulously distressed and hand-embellished DIY denim has gained him popularity with major brands and fashion’s personalities.

This signature material is featured on the new AF1 in two colorways, Bone White and Dark Blue/Faded Blue. The sneaker consists of a denim patchwork upper in different levels of worn effect. The iconic side Swoosh is also presented in this material to fit perfectly with the design. The look is completed with contrasting WHO DECIDES WAR monogram embroidery across the foot. They appear black or brown on the Bone version and white on the Dark Blue/Washed Blue iteration. WHO DECIDES WAR branding also adorns the tongue tag and insole. The classic white color scheme retained on the laces and sole pays homage and gives a nod to the original models released 4 decades ago.

The Who Decides War x Nike Air Force 1 duo could be released for the Fall/Winter 2022 season, on partner sites whodecideswar.comand nike.com. We’re keeping a close eye on @murderbravado’s social media channels to give you the latest official details, stay tuned!
