A Divisive Pair.
Known for their risk-taking antics when it comes to sneaker collaborations, streetwear titans Stüssy have taken things up a level with this rumoured Nike collaboration, taking on the Vandal silhouette.
Typically being one of Nike’s most divisive silhouettes, the Vandal follows in line with Stüssy’s previously ambitious releases, having taken on a selection of unloved silhouettes in the past, including the Air Penny 2 and Air Max 2013 sneakers. For this apparent release, Stüssy may have given themselves their biggest task yet as the Vandal sneaker receives a woven “Royal Blue” makeover, with style components including a high-top shape, a woven hemp material across the all-blue upper, a similarly-designed Nike midfoot Swoosh, black ankle strapping, as well as a white midsole and a co-branded Stüssy x Nike ‘8-ball’ tongue. Additionally, this silhouette is set to receive two other Stüssy-lead designs, with “Fossil” and “Black” colourways also primed to drop alongside their “Royal Blue” counterpart.
Whilst no release date has been set for this pair as of yet, a drop is expected imminently. Stay tuned to PAUSE for more information as it arrives.
