Originally designed for the hardwood, the shoe quickly gained recognition off-court for its timeless style. Since its release, the Air Force 1 Shoe has gone from a trend to an iconic piece of streetwear fashion worldwide. Much of the credit for the shoe&#8217;s success goes to the different communities that adopted it. These groups made the shoe a symbol of shared values and the power of expression in their community. To celebrate them, Nike tasked the design of this year&#8217;s Air Force 1 to the people in these communities.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, three different Nike Air Force 1 Shoe designs came from communities in NYC, LA, and of course, Chicago. Each design expresses its community culture by blending sport, music, fashion, art, the street, and city into one. Chicago&#8217;s shoe design comes from local barbershop owner Drew Henderson who used the barbershop community as an inspiration.<\/p>\n<h2>The Designer<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58670\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58670 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/drew-chair-676x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"676\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Nike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;I\u2019ve had a passion for cutting hair my entire life and, while I never thought to myself I\u2019d be able to inspire a shoe, it is an honor to shine a spotlight on the city, industry, and community that made me who I am and motivate me every day. I share this with all of them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Barbershops have always been a staple in their communities, something that Drew Henderson knows all too well. Drew is the owner of the Chicago barbershop No Cuts No Glory. Since opening its doors in 2016, No Cuts No Glory offers an experience beyond the standard haircut. At his shop, Drew wanted to create a space that would bring members of his community together. A place where people can prepare for important moments in their life and discuss issues close to home. With such a clear passion for the community, Nike chose to collaborate with Drew to design an Air Force 1 shoe centered around the city he calls home.<\/p>\n<h2>The Nike Air Force 1 Shoe Design<\/h2>\n<p>With the help of Drew, Chicago&#8217;s Air Force 1 Shoe design showcases different aspects of the city through the eyes of the barbershop community.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_58679\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58679\" style=\"width: 704px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-58679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465.jpg 704w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465-370x406.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465-406x446.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AJC_AF1-7-of-9-e1574308738465-600x659.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-58679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Nike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cIt means so much to me to be involved with the production of a shoe that represents some of the most important things in my life: Chicago, the barbershop and the community.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from Drew&#8217;s story, the Air Force 1 ALL FOR 1 &#8211; CHICAGO shoe design incorporates both the function and style from barbershops, the community, and the city of Chicago while sticking to the classic Air Force 1 roots.

The top of the tongue includes a small white edge to represent the white tissue paper barbers use around customers&#8217; necks.
