Matthew M. Williams has a thing for Nike. After creating a stylish athleisure collection for the American sportswear giant back in 2018, captured in a frenetic editorial for 032c by SHOWstudio's Nick Knight and Britt Lloyd, Williams has since turned to one of the most iconic trainer silhouettes of all time: the Air Force 1. Having first appeared on the runway at the 1017 ALYX 9SM A/W 20 show, Williams has since reimagined the shoe in black textured leather with the Nike tick in white, along with Alyx's archetypal rollercoaster buckles snugly tucked around the ankle.

Now, 1017 ALYX 9SM has released the Air Force 1 in white and black leather, with a Nike tick in a wolf grey colourway (inspired by the OG Air Force 1 lineup). Minimalist and refined in nature, the shoe is sure to sell out quickly, so keep your eyes peeled on the raffle.

The AF1 in wolf grey colorways will be available via a raffle starting Monday 5th July 6pm CET ending Friday 9th July at 6pm CET exclusively on alyxstudio.com.
