The Nike x Air Afrique Air Max RK61

TRÈS BIEN is among the select retailers worldwide chosen to release the new Nike x Air Afrique Air Max RK61. A collaboration with the Paris-based creative collective, the silhouette is a unique fusion of a sartorial dress shoe and innovative Air Max technology. The design pays tribute to the original Air Afrique airline, an entity that connected West African nations and the diaspora, merging that cultural memory with a modern form.

Design details nod to aviation heritage, including an Air Max unit inspired by a jet engine and a jacquard sock liner reminiscent of vintage aircraft seats. The project is brought to life through the 'Première Classe' campaign, featuring a range of intergenerational Afro-diaporic icons like football legend Didier Drogba and renowned singer Oumou Sangaré.
