Nike is adding to their DIMSIX label, which exploits the alchemy between sport, counterculture and Nike DNA, with the Nike DIMSIX Signal FK. Inspired by the chopping, cutting and rebuilding of custom cars and bikes, this shoe uses transparent materials and innovative layering to create a deconstructed look. The DIMSIX guerrilla branding calls back to the maverick hustle of Nike’s origins of fearless ambition to subvert sport, featuring unapologetically bold designs that pull from counterculture movements.
Look for this colorway of the Nike DIMSIX Signal FK at select Nike stores and online on July 13.
