Shoe-in

Another piece of basketball history was made as sneaker heads, athletes and hip-hop aficionados gathered at Fiamma Bar for one night of love, in celebration of the 25th year of the iconic Nike Air Force 1.

For their 25th anniversary, Nike honored those who made the Air Force 1 what it is today: a legendary shoe that defined basketball and street culture.

Which shoes are you dreaming of owning?

The un-invented, platinum blade, 24-karat-gold-soled shoes because it requires so much money!

Running shoes, because when I went to New York, running shoes were very much in style. Everyone was wearing them and I fell in love with New York’s style and decided to adopt it.

Something with a mobile phone attached to it, so I don’t have to bring my phone along – I can just wear my shoes!
