I photographed Don C and Kareem “Biggs” Burke for Nike’s Air Force 1 campaign, documenting two influential voices in sneaker culture and the unique Air Force 1 collaborations they helped bring to life.

Nike celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Air Force 1 by partnering with creative luminaries across music, design, and culture — including Don C, whose high-top Air Force 1s blend premium craftsmanship with his signature luxury streetwear aesthetic, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, whose Roc-A-Fella Air Force 1s pay homage to the iconic record label’s deep roots in sneaker and hip-hop culture. These shoes are more than limited editions — they honor the cultural impact of two pillars who helped shape how fashion and music intersected with sneaker heritage.

Through intentional lighting, composition, and collaboration with Don C and Biggs, the imagery highlights both the design details and the personalities behind these landmark editions — capturing the spirit of a silhouette that continues to define generations and the creative forces who expanded its legacy.
