We have earlier seen the Nike Golden Boot for Ronaldo this year, we were indeed surprised as golden shoes either remained a popular accessory with the rappers, or were symbolic. But taking it all a step further, is the Complete Technique Nike ZF-1 American Eagle Snowboard golden boots. Inspired by Japanese art forms such as the Saint Seiya and Berserk, this set of boots use extensive amounts of yellow gold to form a carved structure, which perhaps is more like a cover of a white shoe inside.
Nicknamed the American Eagle Snowboard Zoom Force 1, these boots were the brainchild of Osamu Koyama from the designer label Complete Technique, who had got into a partnership with famous sportswear brand, Nike. Mr. Koyama used gold plates and carved them individually on the basis of each of the 2 Japanese entities, which we mentioned earlier. Capturing the designing cues, and putting it across in the abstract yet aesthetic way on the underlying Zoom Force Boot, indeed got the best out of the artist. The nooks and corners, along with the carving as one can see, requires quite the effort to get right, but at first glance might appear to be a bit overwhelming. However, it all doesn’t end here. The shoes have then been given an opal pendant on the front, furthering the core idea of an outlandish design. Internally, the Nike Snowboard Zoom Force 1 boot lies hiding, visible only from the back end.
