Young and creative members of the Moroccan diaspora, Yace and Mounir, founded Opium, giving vent to their courage and pursuing their passion. Thanks to this, they managed to create a boutique that is a community center and a creative platform. Their goal has remained unchanged since the opening of the store in 2001: to mark the presence of streetwear culture on the map of France and to inspire young people to implement bold ideas that push the culture forward. Designed at Châtelet, this special edition Air Ship pays homage to the origins of Opium. The shoe features signature stars and a mosaic pattern throughout, nodding to Yace and Mounir's roots. The mosaic pattern was created in a home studio and draws inspiration from traditional decorative zellige tiles handmade in Morocco.

Additionally, the detachable Swoosh logo, under which there is the same intricate mosaic pattern, adds a unique character to the shoes.
