For the N.354 collection, the Department of Nike Archives serves as the starting point and the mark encourages an unapologetic celebration of raw ingenuity. It is inspired by classic tennis shoes in the NikeCourt collection. The model utilizes distinct design lines and autoclave tooling that result in a raw, experimental edge on an iconic look. Using an array of materials on the upper, the sneaker also comes with handwritten-esque ‘N.354’ branding all while being placed on top of an elevated midsole.
