The **NIKE AF1 UPSTEP** by SW3 London transforms the timeless Air Force 1 silhouette into a bold fashion-forward statement. Designed and hand-painted by **Thomas**, this exclusive sneaker is part of SW3’s pastel series, featuring a color palette that pays tribute to the vibrant tones of London’s Albert Bridge.
With a platform-style sole for added elevation, this pair stands out from the crowd both literally and visually. The front and mid panels are hand-painted in a patchwork of soft yet punchy pastel colors—mint green, bubblegum pink, lemon yellow, and baby blue—creating a playful yet balanced flow across the upper.
Adding an edge to the sweetness, the side panels feature a geometric black-and-white pattern, giving the design an urban contrast that grounds the airy color scheme. The oversized black swoosh and heel tab offer strong visual anchors, keeping the whole look dynamic and sharp.
More than just a colorful sneaker, the AF1 Upstep is a reimagined classic infused with culture, creativity, and London streetwear roots. Every inch of the shoe is painted with precision, showcasing the artistic expression that defines SW3 London’s bespoke series.
Whether paired with minimalist fits or styled to match its bold palette, this shoe is for those who don’t blend in—they shine.
A modern tribute to heritage and individuality, this sneaker is perfect for collectors, artists, or anyone ready to step into something unique.
