Looks like Taylor Steele has been up to something other then making amazing surf flicks during his time here in New York. Being the creative guy he is, he stopped by Nike’s 21 Mercer shop to design his own pair of Air Force 1′s. 21 Mercer is a one-of-a-kind shop Nike opened up in SoHo, NYC that lets you collaborate with a Nike specialist to design and create your own shoe and customizing the sole to the laces and everything in between.

The shoe Taylor created fits the style of his movies, clean and simple, yet well thought out and of quality. I like how he incorporated the Sipping Jetstreams logo into the shoe and hangtag. Not sure how this colab between Taylor and Nike came about, but the AF1′s they created look dope and I can only hope that I can get in there one day to create a custom SURFBANG shoe.

[...] The Air Force 1 Bespoke program isn’t limited to sneakerheads or urban culture influencers. Case in point, these brushed leather beauties from Taylor Steele. Not a household name by any means and he rather have it that way, Steele transformed the way surf movies were filmed under the labelPoor Specimen. With help from his films, the world was also introduced to a new breed of talents like Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and more. Another far reaching effect of Steele’s creations was the public’s perception of surf films. No more of the laid-back surfing dude images, instead, feature-length documentary which aptly named its subjects as “The Momentum Generation”. One of such visage on Steele’s Air Force 1 Bespoke are the laser-etched rambling waves near the heel and on the lace tabs, the insignia to his Sipping Jetstreams project.Next, a natural rubber midsole and brown outsole complete the tonal appearance. Finally, a little pop of color on the insole in contrast red.
