"17-18" Refers to the Street Number of Dover Street Market London!

The "NIKE AIR FORCE 1 PREMIUM CDG DEC," sold in limited quantities worldwide, was born as a footwear focused on materials, utilizing "Ventile," an ultra-high-density woven fabric, known for its lightness and snug fit.

Drawing inspiration from the summer's sporting events, Nike's design team focused on 1948, a historic year when the first major sporting event after World War II was held in London. Around the same time, Ventile material was developed in Manchester. Initially used for the waterproof and windproof flight suits of air force pilots, it is a fabric material that also possesses ideal strength and fire resistance for survival environments.

The use of this crisp, strong material allowed for a reduction in the number of parts, resulting in the slim silhouette of the "NIKE AIR FORCE 1 PREMIUM CDG DEC."





This premium model further incorporates an innovative cushioning system to enhance the flexibility of the entire sole. The "17-18" numbers on the tongue tab, made of Tyvek material, refer to the street number of Dover Street Market in London and also evoke the numbers worn by runners competing in races.
