Earlier this week Manchester United was defeated by Barcelona in the Champions League final. However, on the sneaker scoreboard Manchester won, as the FC Barcelona Nike Blazer was only a sample, and Manchester star Rio Ferdinand is among the global elite to create his own Nike 1World Air Force 1.

Rio's design skills are on point as he hooked up the sneakers in a nice mix of a dominant white upper in smooth and croc leather. The sneaker also makes minimal use of metallic gold and university blue.

The sneakers already released in the States, exclusively at NYC based 21 Mercer.

The sneakers releases tomorrow in Europe at sneaker shops with Nike Tier Zero accounts such as SNS in Stockholm and Nort in Berlin. The release is super limited as Rio's home nation the UK will receive less than 100 pairs. In London you can find them at Nike Sportswear 1948.

As we recently previewed, the latest international figure to be recruited to the Nike 1World project is Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand. Ferdinand's creation is smooth, in an upper composed of white smooth and faux croc leather with touches of light blue and gold sitting on an icy sole.

The kicks are, as you can imagine limited. Releasing on Saturday the 30th of May you can find them in London you at Nike Sportswear 1948. Rio will be on-hand to bring in the release of his Nike Air Force 1 Lows at 1948. With less than a 100 releasing in the UK getting your hands on a pair will be tough.

Nike has a contest to win a pair and meet Rio, just text 60030 (in the UK) and pray.

The sneakers already released in NYC. On the 30th of May the kicks will also be available at select Nike Tier Zero accounts in Europe such as SNS in Stockholm and Nort Berlin.
