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.
