AS THE END OF THE YEAR APPROACHES I FEEL POSITIVITY IN THE AIR. THIS YEAR AT CLOT HAS BEEN QUITE A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR ALL OF US INCLUDING MYSELF. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBER HAS GONE THRU MANY CHALLENGES AND TESTS TO COME TO THIS DAY, SO THIS DAY BRINGS ABOUT GREAT POSITIVITY AND HAPPINESS TO WELCOME EACH AND EVERY ONE TO 2009.

THIS COMING YEAR BRINGS A STRONGER MORE EDITED VERSION OF CLOT. WE HAVE MANY EXCITING PROJECTS IN THE WORKS, FROM THE APPAREL SIDE, TO THE PR & EVENTS SIDE, TO DISTRIBUTION WE WILL BE GIVING YOU GUYS INTERESTING PROJECTS TO LOOK OUT FOR AND INTERESTING PRODUCTS TO WAIT FOR.

SO I JUST REALLY WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS TOUCHED MY LIFE THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. THANK YOU MY CMD FAMILY, MY JUICE FAMILY, MY CLOT PR & EVENTS FAMILY, MY ACU FAMILY, AND EVERYONE ELSE.

AS FOR MYSELF, THIS YEAR I HAVE A FEW NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS MYSELF, THERE ARE THINGS THAT I AM CONSTANTLY TRYING TO IMPROVE AND UPGRADE. SO I THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING WITH ME AS I AM STILL LEARNING EVERYDAY.  

I ASKED AROUND MY FRIENDS TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO WISH FOR THIS NEW YEAR. ONE PARTICULAR COMMENT STUCK OUT OF THE REST, WHICH WAS TO WISH FOR PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS. I KNOW IT SOUNDS A BIT CORNY, BUT ON SOME LEVEL ITS QUITE REAL. AS EVERYONE IS FIGHTING AND HARPING ON BAD THINGS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO WISH THAT EVERYONE CAN PUT DOWN THEIR DIFFERENCES AND MAKE A CHANGE IN THE COMMUNITY. 

REPENT AND REVOLT !!!!! 2009 HERE WE COME.

NIKE UNVEILS THE NIKE CLOT AIR FORCE 1,

THE 13TH CREATION FOR THE 1WORLD AF1 PROJECT

To welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year, Nike has teamed up with Clot to launch the lucky-red inspired Nike Clot Air Force 1, the auspicious addition to the Nike 1World AF1 Project that features a total of 18 influential style leaders in sports, music, art and design.

The Nike Clot Air Force 1 pays tribute to the themes of luck, happiness and prosperity — as represented by the color red — which prevail during traditional Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations. Special features of the Nike Clot Air Force 1 include:

·      an upper-shoe made from red Clot Royale Deluxe Silk, the most recognizable Chinese-made textile, with embroidered trademark Clot graphics inspired by thousand-year-old Chinese prints;

·      the red upper-shoe top layer can actually be peeled, burned or torn off to reveal a bottom layer made from dark brown leather. Clot’s trademark Chinese-print graphics, as embroidered onto the silk upper layer, are lasered onto this durable leather layer;

·      a sockliner inspired by traditional green-and-white paper;

·      contrasting black colorway, with a matte-black leather details and black shoelaces.

The highlight peel-off double-layer design feature was created to inspire people to seek beyond the superficial, to search for what lies within. The Clot design team explains: “We need to remember to never judge simply by what you see.”

The Nike Clot Air Force 1 comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the Nike Clot Air Force 1 packaging is a hexagonal red box with a partitioned tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.

Nike’s 1World AF1 Project is a partnership project between Nike Sportswear and 18 influential style makers from around the world. Each illustrious participant was invited to design his own Air Force 1, showcasing their trademark style and individuality. Since June 2008, the 18 shoes have been — and still will be — selectively released in limited numbers, available only in the city where the guest designer is from. The 1World AF1s released so far have been designed by Rasheed Wallace (Philadelphia), Pedro Winter (Paris), Gore Texer (Tokyo), Kaws (New York), Questlove (Philadelphia), Daisuke Matsuzaka (Tokyo), Ladainian Tomlinson (San Diego), Hajime Tachibana (Tokyo), Krink (New York) and Michael Lau (Hong Kong).
