Ruohan Wang x Nike Air Force 1 Flyleather CZ3990-900

Description

While Earth-centered, the pair does delve into themes adjacent — all, however, undoubtedly of the same intentionally crude art style. Anthropomorphic figures sprawl along the forefoot, swoosh, and heel in seldom, either speaking via Chinese characters, looking towards quickly pencil’d portraits of the planet, or holding it as if reminiscent of Atlas. Elsewhere, florals are reinterpreted through Wang’s lens against brighter blue backdrops, a shade that is well-utilized along the various Flyleather paneling as well as the artist’s signature-clad tongue tab. The palette, then, increases in volume as pastel pinks, saturated reds, and yellows work their way along the majority of the construction alongside more infrequent hits of light brown, grey, and white.
