Recently Virgil Abloh showcased his Off-White Spring and Summer 2020 ‘PLASTIC’ Collection at Paris Fashion Week. Now he gave us a first look at an upcoming Nike Dunk Low collaboration with graffiti artist Futura.
Using two familiar color schemes as the base – the “Syracuse” and the “UNC” – Virgil decorates it with some familiar touches such as the bold print on the medial side and laces as well as the exposed mesh on the tongue, but fans of Futura might recognize some of his key contributions such as the “FL” (Futura Laboratories) placed on the heels, his signature on the translucent outsoles and the insoles, and his landmark style of type used alongside Off-White Helvetica.
No official word on release details, but you can grab a detailed look at the Off-White x Futura x Nike Dunk Low Collection below. Stay tuned for more updates.
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.
