Stranger Things Collaborating With Nike

To celebrate Stranger Things season 3, Nike is releasing a set of apparel and sneakers inspired by the town’s very own Hawkins High School.

Thanks to Netflix and their slew of original content taking over our precious viewing time, Stranger Things is probably the show with the biggest following and hype behind it. This is no surprise with its love affair of 80’s nostalgia, pop culture references, and the sci-fi supernatural. And to celebrate season 3’s Independence Day launch, Nike is releasing a set of apparel and sneakers inspired by the town’s very own Hawkins High School.

The Nike x Stranger Things Backstory

Set in the mid-80’s, this season of Stranger Things finds the town of Hawkins, Indiana, amid some serious change. Our group of heroes are dealing with being on the cusp of high school, whilst also grappling themes of friendship and love. On top of that, they must tackle the looming danger of the ever-evolving D&D inspired Big Bad.

The Independence Day Pack

The second release of the Nike x Stranger Things collaboration features nothing but shoes, glorious shoes. Aptly named as each shoe carries a patriotic red, white and blue colour scheme with special detailing in the sock liner for extra patriotism. All to commemorate Independence Day.

My favourite from the collection being the Nike Tailwind with the throwback colour scheme of Forrest Gump’s legendary Nike Cortez. This colour-way is also reminiscent to that of Marty McFly’s Nike Bruin famously worn in Back To The Future. To round it all off, their use of a mixture of materials, including a creamy mesh upper, completes the retro movie aesthetic.

These pieces launch on July 1, 2019.

Be sure to grab yours ASAP as anything with as much hype as Stranger Things will sell out FAST!
