Dutch artist and designer Parra has become more well known for collaborations than artworks, but that doesn't stop those collabs from being awesome. And in the latest Nike x Parra collab, we have more than merely a pair of sneakers, as previous collabs provided, but rather, an actual little capsule collection of Parra Air products.
The collection will give two shoes for retail, a pair of Air Max 1's, and Zoom Spiridon's, one pair of "Friends and Family" Air Max 1's. and a Nike tracksuit jacket. The retail Nike shoes feature a patchwork type finish, incorporating a lot of the frequently seen Parra details, such as vivid colours, stripes, dots, pink, orange and sky blue, and the "Friends & Family" edition rather daringly decideds to do away with the Nike Swoosh, instead featuring a bold cloud design on the side panel. The track jacket echoes the patterns of the shoes.
The shoes are a big change, as the previous Parra designs were always dark, and the removal of the swoosh is pretty major. as for the track jacket, it looks very, very eighties. In a good way. Prices are not known at this stage, expect them to fly however when their July 21st release date comes round, and re-sale prices to go sky high. The first Parra collab, the "Amsterdam", it was on sale at a recent sneaker convention for £3,000, and sold.
