2016 was definitely a breakout year for Louisville native Bryson Tiller.
After a few tours and smash singles, the singer is now joining forces with Nike to release a special edition of the Air Force 1 Bespoke iDs, which are inspired by his hometown.
“I wore a uniform to school, so the white-on-white or black-on-black Air Force 1 Low was the simple sneaker to wear, but it was the standard,” Tiller says. “You were cool if you had on a pair of Air Force 1s. It’s still a staple for me while on tour.”
He goes on to say…
“I didn’t expect there to be all of these different textures and options,” he says. “It’s inspiring to see what’s possible, and I designed a pair based on my hometown and boxing’s tie to the city.”
The Louisville singer explains the inspiration his hometown had on his shoe design.
“Whenever you fly into Louisville, you see a sign that says, ‘It’s Possible Here.’ I remember my first time seeing it – I think I was coming home from the studio in LA – I was working on my debut album, and I just thought, ‘Wow, it is possible here,’” he states. “Everybody always thinks you have to move out of the city and go where the music industry is, but it’s possible in Louisville, and it’s possible anywhere. You just have to believe. So, I put ‘POSSIBLE’ on them as well.”
