Nike Sportswear x Livestrong x Mr. Cartoon - Air Force 1

Never released publicly, the original Mister Cartoon Air Force 1 was only available to select friends and family of Los Angeles’ most celebrated tattoo artist. Immediately acknowledged as an instant classic, die-hard collectors paid upwards of $3,000 for the limited pairs that made it outside. Comprehensively re-worked by Mister Cartoon for this release, the new look AF1 again deploys Laser technology to provide the gritty graphics reflecting its city of origin.

100% of the proceeds from this release go towards the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the fight against Cancer, with a retail price of $150. The Nike Sportswear x Livestrong x Mister Cartoon Air Force 1 will launch at 11:59pm on July 2nd exclusively at The Last Laugh in Los Angeles, with a wider release on July 4th celebrating the first day of the Tour de France.
