Online reservations are required to attend the izakaya, which will serving up yakitori skewers and alcoholic drinks in a stylish environment to help promote the new release.Īs for the kicks themselves, they’ll be available to purchase via an online lottery held from 19-25 August, with lucky winners able to purchase the shoes at Atmos stores and online for 15,400 yen (US$113.05) from 25 August. To help commemorate this release, Trunk (Hotel) in Shibuya, Tokyo, will open a special “Ichibanboshi” izakaya operated by Atmos, who’ll be selling the sneakers, from 25-28 August. The receipts on the tongues cleverly detail the history of the Air Force 1 Mid model and its different releases over the years. ▼ Not one but two tanuki for extra luck, and one of them is even holding a pair of shoes. ▼ Two other notable features are a receipt-like tongue and an image of a Shigaraki-ware raccoon dog, which sit outside izakaya to bring prosperity in business. Nike toes the line with copyright issues by incorporating a star - the logo for Sapporo Beer - on the shoe, while also depicting a beer bottle that looks like a blend between top beer brands Sapporo and Kirin. ▼ It’s a good hue to match the colour of beer, oolong tea, and highballs mixed with oolong tea that are also synonymous with izakaya. The new kicks capture everything we love about a Japanese izakaya, starting with the brown hues, which bring to mind the wooden interiors of the relaxing drinking holes, while also conjuring up images of the charcoal-grilled yakitori skewers that are so often served there. The Air Force 1 Mid’07 LX ‘IZAKAYA’ is a special release to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Nike’s Air Force 1 Mid model this year. It’s a feeling that many people would love to capture in a bottle and take home with them, and that’s something that Nike is now doing, except instead of using a bottle to capture the spirit of an izakaya, they’re using a pair of shoes. For many, izakaya are the heart and soul of the Japanese dining scene - a place where you can rub shoulders with the locals and let go of your troubles in a casual environment that feels like a home away from home. In Japanese, the word izakaya is made up of three kanji - 居酒屋 - which translate to “ home drink place“, and that’s exactly what these establishments are - homely places where drinks are served, along with light meals and snacks to keep you going. If you’re ever looking for a place in Japan with a lively vibe where you can eat and drink the night away with friends, an izakaya is the place to go. New Nike Air Force 1 Mid release is an homage to Japanese drinking taverns.
