Jovani Hernandez Fresh off news that Virgil Abloh’s Off-White has conjured up 21 pairs of the Louis Vuitton x nike sb black sheep gucci boots 2017, Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER has unveiled a trio of takes on Bruce Kilgore’s hotel design as part of its Spring/Summer 2022 collection.
In comparison to Abloh’s propositions, the Japanese designer’s work forgoes any vibrant yellow, green and red in favor of a predominantly greyscale palette. At least one all-over is utilized, but it’s done in an unassuming set of tones. What’s most eye-catching about UNDERCOVER’s nike flyknit racer in sail black volt battery 2017 trio is the set of technical modifications applied to the silhouette. At quick glance, the Nike Sportswear classic doesn’t deter far from its standard form, but closer inspection reveals a TPU harness around the heel. Furthermore, a nike dunk low sb ice glacier blue paint-reminiscent inner-bootie has been added into the mix; the neoprene component is most visible on a silver and black pair, which also features a speckled midsole. Each style is stamped with the Japanese brand’s underlined “U” logo at the heel. Together, Takahashi’s updates ostensibly deliver a more secure fit, while propelling a near-40-year-old design into the next 40 years.
