The three winners are: Matheus Lopes Castro, Jeferson Antônio Vieira da Silveira and Adriano Parents Cinelli, and here are their designs. via Sneakersbr
Hiroshi Fujiwara has done a ton of subtly excellent work in collaboration with Nike. You might be surprised to hear he just finished a fragment design-edition Chuck, but the Swoosh does own Nike, afterall.So here’s the first look at the Hiroshi Fujiwara for Nike Air Max All Star. It’s a part of the sprawling 1HUND(RED) collection, but bears no mention. Instead, there’s a small fragment design embroidered onto the nike lunareclipse heel in white, adding a flash to an otherwise entirely navy blue upper. These are set to drop at select Nike retailers everywhere on December 26th. via HS
Vena Cava is going straight to the heart of sneaker history with its first collaboration. Another in the long line of Nike 1Hund(RED) Artists releases, the white, red and blue ladies-only design has that familiar All-American Air Max All Star feel. Thanks to the extensive Native American-inspired patterning, this phrase takes on a new meaning, and give this shoe a unique look amongst alot of recent Indian looks. They’re available at premium Nike retailers like Major.
