Naotaka Konno is one of the creators who believes that the current Tokyo street culture needs a shocking change. He creates works that remain in the context of music and fashion by crossing over diverse music, film, street culture, and the past and present, and by fusing technology.
NAOTAKA KONNO (TOKYO)【 Japan (Tokyo), Designer]
This time, Konno's creation is based on the Nike Air Max 97 as a base model, using the world of a cult favorite science fiction film about Tokyo in the near future and the contemporary Tokyo night scene as the inspiration source.
It features nightclub black light coloring, flashlight-inspired reflector material and VIP band material. In pursuit of a good fit, a bootie style like the Air Halachic was incorporated into the lining, completing a shoe with two faces in one design.
The beautiful curved lines that characterize the 97 are a gradation print of reflector specifications thermo-compressed onto the flyknit upper using a special technique. Both the Flyknit and the lines are reflectors, and when they reflect, they appear to be the original colors.
