story

So Air Afrique was a pan-African airline that was created at the beginning of their independence to create this force that was in aviation at the time.

Today, we have a multidisciplinary collective.
If we have a platform, a cultural brand that is dedicated to the arts and Afro-diasporic conversations. in Air Afrique, there are several sectors

such as artistic direction, filmmaking, archives, research, and lots of things It all started with a conversation

We shared our archives and our way of working with
Nike’s team and we set out a way of working.
They showed a little bit of what Nike stood for, what they had already done in the past, where they opened the doors of their archives.

That’s where the collaboration really began
This shoe incorporates a lot of details, as we used to say in Air Afrique It's a universe.
It is above all a cultural collective that is in fact designed and imagined for
The curious.

attachment to the aeronautical world around our history.
We also have everything around the shoe.
It is a Morse code that means Air Afrique.
We wanted this shoe to be intergenerational,

which speaks to the youngest as well as the oldest,
in reference to our memories and our ancestors.

this product, in this case the primacy with which our parents, who are before us, to travel, especially by looking back on the country.
First of all, given that Air Afrique is a company that was born.

we were very proud to have done this launch in Abidjan given that there are still plenty of former employees there.
We're all from Paris.
This is where the project was born. I picture people who look like me. These are people who have

the same stories as me.
