New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

When you hear the word Nike followed by Day of the Dead, most sneakerheads will immediately think of the much sought-after Dunk SB version, but a new pack is on the way that will attempt to share in the success of the original. Now we bring you a glimpse of the Nike Dunk High installment of the pack. The shoe sports a Black leather upper and midsole with large sections of Purple skull-n-bones type graphics covering the overlay. As if that wasn’t enough, the kicks also feature a Poison Green Swoosh and lining with some bright Orange found on the tongue label and all over the contrast stitching on the upper. As an added bonus, the insole is also graced by a stylized skeleton illustration that fits right in with the spooky aesthetic of the Pack. If you’ve been kicking yourself for years for missing out on the first Day of the Dead Dunk, you will get your shot at these when they hit Nike Quickstrike accounts in early November.

To raise awareness for the global fight against cancer, Nike Sportswear has re designed eight of its most coveted and iconic collaborations from the last decade and will re-release them as part of this exclusive LIVESTRONG Collection. Split into two installments, the first four-shoe pack drops in July during the Tour de France and features what can only be described as ‘holy grails’ of the sneaker scene.

Only one name holds the same revered stature in the sneaker game as Mister Cartoon and that would be East Coast brethren, Futura. A long-term collaborative partner, NY’s Futura has worked with Nike on numerous occasions providing design innovation at every step. For LIVESTRONG, he updated his most desired shoe, the FLOM (aka For the Love Of Money). Originally released by Nike SB and limited to only 24 pairs, the FLOM was gifted to friends leaving collectors yearning all over the world. This July, they’ll get their chance to make amends.
