Cool Hunting Rough Cut: Nike Sportswear x Maharam x Hella Jongerious 1 World AF1 by Tim Yu
We recently caught the unveiling of Nike Sportswear's new 1 World AF1, featuring Hella Jongerious-designed Maharam fabric, at design shop Moss in New York City. The interpretation of the AF1 introduces a sneaker constructed of 100% wool felt textile called "Layers." We caught up with Michael Maharam, Principal of Maharam, and Nike's Global Design Director Jesse Leyva to gather some insights and opinions on the shoe.

Pointer Footwear
During a recent visit to the Shoreditch area of London, I had the chance to drop in on the five-year-old brand Pointer Footwear. Housed in a space with both Edwin and Carhartt, founder Gareth Skewis—a well-connected professional that started his career skating in the streets of Johannesburg—now helms the growing label.
