As many thought AF1 is craze is coming to an end, Nike hit us with another Air Force 1 Supreme Inside Out . This dragon inspired (isn’t it Year of the Rat?) AF1 comes with orange scale-like leather and lush pony hair. We actually think the dragon logo which is visible on the heel and insole looks a lot like Mushu from Disney’s animated film Mulan. It does come with hefty price at SGD479.
