Airforce 1's Birthday

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Airforce 1 the sportswear giant commissioned a piece from Ride Out's favourite jeweller Daisuke Sakaguchi.

What he created is a sterling silver pendent made up of 25 individual pieces which together make the number 25.

Each piece is engraved with the original sole pattern of the Airforce 1 and has the Daisuke signature on the back.

Individual pieces retail for £250 and you'll have to do the maths if you want the whole picture.

The piece is being exhibited at

With both trainers priced at £1,000 they are the bees’ knees. The left is full anaconda and the right full crocodile skin, so you'll have the animal activists on your tail. These are so real you need animal trading licences to send them to the States.
