Making Photoshoot + Interview (Engsubs)

The rising stars who will lead the trend of the first half of the culture

The rising stars B.A.P showed a strong determination that they won’t just lead the TREND in just music, but in fashion and culture as well. The futuristic and innovative THE ONES which represents the NIKE LUNAR FORCE 1 is a member that can’t be compared.

Q: What is B.A.P’s own unique ambition to lead a trend?

A: For the AIR FORCE 1, it maintains its advantage point which is showing a new style each time and we want to become a group that has the same concept as AIR FORCE 1 in which we’d maintain our unique color, yet continue to showcase a new style.

Q: If you could freely coordinate the AIR FORCE 1, what kind of clothing do you think would be fitting with it?

A: I personally think that the AIR FORCE 1 would fit with anything. During our recent set of promotions, we actually wore the AIR FORCE 1 and it was really pretty. Would they be called semi-skinny jeans? I think it’s fitting with dressy skinny jeans and it’ll for sure catch eyes at a party.

Q: The STYLE ONE was released as a 30th anniversary of AIR FORCE 1. How do you feel?

A: First off, thank you!! The AIR FORCE 1 are shoes we tend to wear and like the most since it fits with anything we wear. We’re truly happy as well and we congratulate you!! (Applause) Honestly, it was a little late on Nike (laughter). What does one think in the mention of Nike? Of course, AIR FORCE 1! (I think we bought at least 10 pairs) While we were promoting, we always wore Nike as if we were in love and we’ve finally met after the releases of 5 albums. (Applause) We love you Nike!!
