CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 K.O.D. Solar Red
163This collaborative rendition of the popular Nike Air Max 1 sees CLOT join forces with Nike as this colorway is inspired from the extremely exclusive Air Max 1 “Kiss Of Death” in Pink that was designed for and worn by Kanye West during his “Touch The Sky” tour stop in Hong Kong in 2006, a show that was hosted by CLOT co-founders Edison Chen and Kevin Poon. Thought to be something of a legend or a myth, the world had only known of several pairs in existence. The shoe’s exclusivity was highlighted when Nike’s now-defunct NikeiD program offered the same color options for the Air Max 1, and CLOT fans began making the shoe as a customization – forcing Nike to halt production of this specific color combination.
15 years after the elusive shoe came to be, CLOT is finally releasing the sneaker to the public. This time around, there are minor updates to its façade highlighted by the red reflective heel tab featuring golden embroidery. Paying homage to CLOT’s Chinese heritage with a hit of red and gold, the shoes also come just in time for the 2021 Olympics.
With the same foot reflexology and pressure points influences that makes the “K.O.D.” trifecta unique, this pair is slightly different with a sole that features a black and white footprint and a mesh toe cap. Its summer-ready colorway is bold with a bright neon pink-panelled upper, muted-silver mudguard with embossed CLOT branding on the side.
