“When I decided to work with Nike, I went to Nike World Headquarters and was so inspired by the archives, the lab, and the team working there,” he continued. “Everything I saw had a huge impact on the project. There’s still a lot to do, so please look forward to the Nike and NIGO project. It’s the beginning of a long and exciting journey.”

The “Blue Void” features an upper constructed with a blend of rubber outsole, midsole foam, and embossed leathers with graphic hits on the tongue and heel.
