[Deep Red] Japanese Bonsai Art – Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 [Black]

Deep red - Shinku -

"Deep red" comes from the fact that in the past, safflower was expensive, and the dark color of safflower was considered a "forbidden color." Therefore, "deep red" does not refer to fake colors dyed with safflower or madder, but rather to the vivid red color "dyed with genuine safflower." Although not a direct seasonal word, "deep red" has long been used in Japan as a seasonal word to signal the arrival of winter.

The deep, vibrant red of this bonsai represents the enthusiasm of the people. The Supreme x Air Force 1 collaboration featured in this piece sparked a frenzy among sneaker enthusiasts around the world. However, as time passed, this enthusiasm gradually died down.
Reincarnation, which people are passionate about, can occur in any era.
This piece expresses the passion of the sneaker boom and its "winter" of its rise and fall.

The Japanese tradition of bonsai meets the modern Supreme collaboration, the Air Force 1.
We hope that this value will serve as a bridge connecting people who love Japanese traditions with hip-hop and sneaker fans around the world.

“Shinku” refers to the vivid red hue that the fruits of evergreen ash trees and elm trees take on as they ripen in late autumn. In ancient Japan, these were also seasonal words heralding the arrival of winter.

The deep, vivid red of this bonsai evokes the brand color of “Supreme.”
The Supreme × Air Force 1 collaboration ignited fervor among sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. Yet, as time passed, this fervor inevitably came to an end.
This conclusion is likened to the “winter” symbolized by deep crimson, hence the seasonal name “Shinku.”

The meeting of Japan's traditional “Bonsai” and the modern Supreme collaboration “Air Force 1”May this value serve as a bridge connecting Japanese tradition enthusiasts living abroad with hip-hop and sneaker fans worldwide.
