Nike collaborates with Stranger Things for an iconic retro collection

With the release of the third season of Netflix‘s favorite television program, Stranger Things, the sportswear giant Nike has collaborated with the series set in the summer of 1985, to create a collection inspired by the small town of Hawkins, Indiana.

Nostalgic of the 80s, the new Nike x Stranger Things collection presents three of the distinctive silhouettes of the Swoosh: Cortez, Blazer and Tailwind models, which we can see at the feet of the protagonists throughout the series.

Released in two “episodes”, the first capsule incorporates the green and orange color scheme of Hawkins High School, complete with a mascot logo, in a lively mix of clothing and footwear that perfectly embodies the classic style of the 1980s.

Nike x Stranger Things, the mystery is revealed.

“In the summer of 1985, several transport vehicles departed from Nike HQ in Beaverton, Oregon, carrying special product shipments headed to multiple locations across the US. Unfortunately, a few of the shipments never made it to their destination. These vehicles all had one thing in common…they were last seen on surveillance footage passing through Hawkins, Indiana. Nike, concerned and confused, never mentioned these missing shipments to anyone for fear that something supernatural was at play.

States Nike’s reveal of the collection, adding that 34 years later, signs of the missing shipments are popping up, piece by piece, and it’s clear that there is something deeper, darker and more evil brewing. Thankfully, Nike has managed to locate some of the missing shipments, revealing that they contained iconic Nike styles: the Cortez, Blazer and Air Tailwind 79”
