The Nikelab Air Zoom Legend x RT

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

In 1990, #nike debuted the Aqua Boot, a shoe made for water sports like sailing and windsurfing that became a street style favorite. Over 25 years later, the sole of the Aqua Boot provides the foundation for the new #nikelab #airzoomlegendxrt, a Chelsea boot inspired by the merging of ocean and land in Rio de Janeiro. Created in collaboration with #riccardotisci, it marks the fourth time the designer has teamed up with #nike.
“I wanted to combine Nike’s rich experimentation in boot silhouettes with my love of the Chelsea Boot, in particular,” Tisci says. “Shoes like the #nike Aqua Boot or SFB Boot have been equally embraced by niche #sport communities and adopted as style staples. After our first collaboration in 2014, when I designed an Air Force 1 Boot for #nike, I knew I had even more visions of this kind of #sport style to realize.”
Working closely with the #nikelab design team, Tisci created two versions of the shoe, one with a basketball-inspired black mesh upper, colorful heel and ice outsole. The second version has a grey floral pattern embroidered on a black, woven jacquard upper and white midsole. In contrast to the shoes’ intentionally minimal uppers, both outsoles contain geometric midsole tooling inspired by Rio’s curvy Copacabana sidewalks.
“The #nikelab #airzoomlegendxrt was made possible through Riccardo’s unique ability to fuse athletic geometries with sneaker aesthetics,” says Darryl Matthews, #nikelab Senior Designer. “The shoe juxtaposes Rio's lively beach life with inspiration from Brasilian modernist architecture and the formality of a gentrified Chelsea boot.”
For unique RT style, the shoe is finished with leather lining, pull tabs and foot beds, as well as a heel clip that has the RT logo, star and #nike swoosh branding.
The #nikelab #airzoomlegendxrt is available December 8 at #nikelab retailers and on #nike.com/nikelab.
