NIKE Air Force 1 Bespoke by Lexdray - Lexdray Materials (Part 1)
There's nothing like sitting down with really creative people and going through the design process. Yesterday I got to take part in something I've wanted to do for a long time, any shoe collector's dream: create my own pair of Nike AF 1's. And to make this opportunity even sweeter, I was given the chance to design them exclusively with Lexdray fabrics. Together with 21 Mercer Nike design studio consultants, iZ and Mark (two highly creative and interesting people), we customized the ultimate pair of Nike's to match the Lexdray brand aesthetic. We kept things simple, clean and functional while using our 1680D ballistic nylon, neoprene, PVC and webbing materials. Here are some pics from the process. Stay tuned for (Part 2) where we will release photos of the shoes.

Last night we celebrated the opening of our first Pop-up Shop in NYC at Reed Space Annex. We had a ton of good friends and industry peeps on hand to help in the celebration. Special thanks to Frank the Butcher, Hawaii Mike, Jei Morris, Matthew Klein, Nico Reyes and DJ Soul for their assistance. Shout out to Buffalo Trace, Mexicue, Modello and Hint for their support as well.
Luckily we also had High Snobiety on hand to document the evening and showcase our new FLG Collection with Boylston Trading Co. Check out the pix.
Lexdray Weekend Pop-Up Shop on Urban Daddy
Urban Daddy featured our pop-up shop on their Weekender edition of things to do in NYC. Come down and see us this Friday-Sunday (12noon-7p) at the Reed Space Annex. Our new FLG Collection with Boylston Trading Co. will be on hand. The collection ships in November and they make an ideal holiday gift.
"Looming in the distance: holiday travel season. A time of the year when nothing is more valuable than an aisle seat. Except perhaps a trusty backpack. Our humble suggestion: visit Lexdray’s pop-up this weekend for one of their sturdy, pocket-laden, Japanese-fleece-lined numbers. They’ll be the talk of the TSA this Christmas."
