Nike Talks With atmos Designer Hirofumi Kojima About The Upcoming atmos Nike/Jordan Pack

It’s been three decades since Tinker Hatfield brought the concept of visible air to fruition, and while the air jordan 13 white black varsity red and Jordan 3 were initially created as performance models, both silhouettes have been lifestyle staples and some of the most sought after retros in the Swoosh’s catalog ever since hitting retail shelves. Tokyo’s atmos knew this and was one of the first boutiques to collaborate with the famed 1987 model, the stand out of course being the 2007 atmos x Nike air jordan 13 white black varsity red “Elephant Print”. atmos designer Hirofumi Kojima combined the iconic Elephant Print from the Air Jordan 14 Retro GS Black Varsity Red with its visible air predecessor for one of the most memorable collaborative efforts ever, and now the retro is coming back both in OG form and as part of the special edition Jordan Max atmos Pack on March 18th, 2017 in celebration of Retro Air Jordan IV 4Fear Pack.

Nike News sat down with Hirofumi to talk his design process and how exactly the iconic atmos x Nike air jordan 13 white black varsity red “Elephant Print” came to be. Surprisingly enough, the 2007 release wasn’t initially inspired from the Air Jordan 14 Retro GS Black Varsity Red, but was instead seen as an opportunity to put animal prints back in style after seeing some vintage ‘Nike kids’ with zebra printed shoes. Kojima says: “I remember talking with the people in Nike Japan, who were involved in the project, about creating something crazy and stupid that would give impact to the market. We happened to find a pair of vintage Nike kids shoe with zebra print, and we decided to create shoes with animal prints under the concept of zoo.

Hirofumi also drops some gems including how he wishes that the Jade colored Swoosh would have been created in a premium leather instead of the contrasting patent leather. We also have an update regarding the release date of the coming air jordan 6 girls chinese year black multicolor new release: as it will be releasing on March 18th, 2017 at select global retailers (stay tuned for a coming ‘Where To Buy’ post in the near future).
