RET Air Force 1
Campaign
These sneakers have been designed and handmade by VIJZ Bespokes, especially for this one-off RET promotion. The sneakers are designed to promote RET's "Always something extra," and two pairs will be raffled among all registrations.
The Nike Air Force 1 was used for both pairs. The colors of RET are reflected in the design, just like the iconic lines of the metro network. You can see these lines on the nose of the shoe and the sole of the shoe. Because RET is proud of Rotterdam, the skyline of the city of Rotterdam could not be missed, and it is therefore on the lip. The RET logo can be found on the inside of the lip.
We created a video that showcases the making process. You can watch the video below. You can scroll down to the bottom of this page for pictures of these shoes.
For these Air Force 1 - RET, we printed the metro lines of Rotterdam on leather. These can be found on the mudguard and insoles. Before we print the image on leather, we scan the desired pattern and will fit the image to the correct shape and size.
The print for the mudguard was a bit tricky. Because we use flat, curved patterns, we had to consider the shape when stitching all patterns together in 3D. Besides, we also need to consider the depth of the cup sole.
