Happy International Women`s Day! As part of the 1 Reimagined Project, Nike asked fourteen female designers to produce five new iterations of the 1980s classic sneaker, the Nike Air Force 1. This sneaker, which features leather uppers and lacing down the back, was donated to the Bata Shoe Museum by Nike Canada in 2018. 👟

In 2019, Olympic track and field athlete Allyson Felix (@allysonfelix) faced significant gender-based injustice from her sponsor in response to her motherhood, and in response she started her own sneaker company (@bysaysh). Her first sneaker, the Saysh One, was designed by Natalie Candrian. Felix wore a pair of bespoke Saysh Spike Ones when she won gold at the Tokyo Summer Olympics, making her the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history. See these shoes on display in our "Future Now" exhibition.
