| For today’s Air Force Friday, we have enlisted the help of our friend, Mr Bespoke himself, Mayor.
When asked to choose his top rated Air force One, he chose the “Linen/Atmosphere” Air Force 1 which was released only in Japan in 2001, and licked by Fat Joe on Cribs, in America a few years later.? Every true shoe lover has a story about how they obtained their favorite shoe, and this is his. In 2001 when the Linens dropped, Mayor saw a picture somehow (he is almost 37 so that memory is kinda fuzzy) and went crazy! One may believe it was by luck, or even by fate that at the same time as the release Mayor had a friend that was working in Japan that was trying to find a way back to the states. Mayor being the good friend he is offered to buy him a plane ticket home, in return for 3 pairs of the Linen forces. After all was said and done, Mayors friend was finally able to return home, but was only able to get one pair of linens for his good friend. Recently Mayor picked up his 7th pair from his buddy Surage for a not so bad price of $355. Because even though Mayor has had 7 pair, he is still always on the hunt for that deadstock pair of Linen/Atmosphere forces in that convenient size 9.5 because he wont wear a pair unless he has a deadstock pair on ice. Now that is what I call loving a shoe. Also follow us and Mayor on Twitter at @snkrsday and @_MAYOR_ and Mayors 500th follower will receive a free pair of the Swagger Terminator Hi’s.
