Nike Kobe 9 EM 1 Inspired By Invisible Clothing

Clear shoes? This see-through pair of Nike Dunks, designed by Rei Kawakubo of COMME des GARÇONS, is inspired by an old fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson in which an emperor is tricked into wearing invisible clothing, exposing himself completely. The see-through Dri-FIT of the shoes interprets the story’s underlying contradiction of invisibility as transparency, which in today’s day and age is a commentary on information overload and over-sharing of the social media age.
