So this dude The Mayor (oye on the rap nicknames) just got in his Bespoke Studio Air Force 1s. You might remember hearing about his 1000th pair that Nike did for him as kind of a thank you for blowing well over 10 grand on the brand’s simplest shoe in the portfolio (after the Cortez).

Nike Sportwear Bespoke, for those of you not quite caught up yet, is the Nike iD studio on steroids located in the Nike Sportswear flagship store in NYC at 21 Mercer Street. The Bespoke Studio allows users to customize 31 different parts of the shoe, in a variety of luxury fabrics and threads, and while right now you can only do AF1s in NYC, the program will likely roll out to other silhouettes and cities. It’s not cheap, with the price for a session at the Bespoke Studio and the sneakers clocking in at a cool $800. Recession pricing? Yeah right.
