Jay-Z x Nike Air Force 1 “All Black Everything” Pack
by Rocky Brown on August 12, 2010
Here is a detailed look at the Nike Air Force 1 “All Black Everything” Pack created in collaboration with Jay-Z for the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. The kicks are under the umbrella of the Nike World Basketball Festival and are inspired by five national basketball teams representing Puerto Rico, Brazil, France, China and the USA.
Don't let the name fool you, none of the kicks are all black, as each sneaker has the five national flags represented on the insole with specific flag in color. Each of the outsole is translucent and features a colorful design representing the nation in question.
Other than those subtle touches of color the kicks are all black though are differentiated by materials used and country specific labeling on the heel tab while Jay-Z is referenced on each tongue with "Nike [Swoosh] Hov".
Each Jay Z designed sneaker is limited to two pairs, one for Jigga and the other will be made to order to the winner of each auction, so you will always have unique foot action unless you frequent the same spots as Shawn Carter. At this point the range is between $1,175.00 and $2,025.00, so you have to drop some serious change, but at least you will be helping someone pay for college.
