OBJECTS OF DESIRE

- By Kimberley Schoeman

Feel Free, Let’s Talk

Never has a shoe been so simultaneo­usly unremarkab­le and bold as the Nike Air Force 1. To celebrate its 40th anniversar­y, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Feel Free, Let’s Talk” is a call to join forces and celebrate the people and places that make us. With mismatched swooshes, paired with anniversar­y-edition features, this AFI brings together sneakerhea­ds, artists and subcultura­l icons such as Wanda Lephoto, DBN Gogo and Anthony Bila. Available at Shelflife.

Zee best of Zee best

City slickers are all about style on the go, which means they don’t have time to be weighed down. Best Global’s Zee earrings are 18ct hollow hoops made for the city’s most stylish bodies on the go. You get a bold, chunky look without the weight of being held down or held back, making these perfect for day-to-night. Available online from Ourbestreg­ards.

Lofty living

Think panoramic penthouses, exposed-brick interiors and tastefully raw urban designs juxtaposed with bright colours and tufted textures. The Paul Smith Stripe rugs are an homage to the funky fashion designer who dresses London’s streets with a subtle, stripey nod. Available at Herring Bone.

Feel the rhythm of the city

The latest fragrance from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, 724, is a celebratio­n of memories of New York. A contempora­ry fragrance made for the 24/7 lifestyle, 724 has a scent of optimism, a city’s creativity and bergamot. The bottle’s blue is edgy and urban, and paired with sleek grey, which is an ode to the concrete jungle. Available at Skins Cosmetics.
