Jun Takahashi’s Undercover x Nike Daybreak lineup will be adding a few more color options that will be arriving to retailers later this month. The model itself appears to be a revised take on 1979’s Nike Tailwind that firsr surfaced back in June at Undercover’s Spring/Summer 2019 show at Paris Fashion Week. A speckled, plastic heel piece has been added to the design that gives the pair a more futuristic appearance. The rest of the sneaker maintains its traditional nylon upper with suede overlays. Undercover branding is stamped on the lateral midsole and tongue tag.
Look for the Undercover x Nike Daybreak “Black/Sail” to release on June 21st via Nike SNKRS. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
