NIKE X LIBERTY
SNEAKERBOOTS ...........................................................................................................................
ICONS, ELEVATED
Nike redefines seasonal sneakers with the launch of its much-anticipated Liberty print SneakerBoot collection. Nike icons – Dunk, Roshe Run and Air Revolution – updated with height and winter weather protection, are wrapped in Liberty London’s signature paisley print, Bourton, offering comfort, warmth and subtle protection against the elements with a stylish edge.
The collection features Nike’s most popular footwear silhouettes, all of which have been given a winter makeover for season ahead. NIKE DUNK SKY HI SNEAKERBOOT, evolves from Nike’s first ever wedge sneaker, the Nike Dunk Sky Hi. This winterized wedge from a basketball classic is bigger and better for colder seasons, with a quilted ankle collar for added height and a duckboot- style toe, with WaterShield technology, to keep moisture out.
The NIKE AIR REVOLUTION SKY HI SNEAKERBOOT sees the iconic basketball Nike Air Revolution shoe given a feminine twist, with a concealed wedge heel for a modern elevated style. The visible Air-Sole unit provides impact protection for the city streets and a padded ankle collar with signature strap fastening delivers a secure fit.
Dropping later in the season, the NIKE ROSHE RUN HI SNEAKERBOOT transforms the original Nike Roshe Run shoe into a plush fur-lined boot, offering ultimate warmth, making it a wardrobe staple for the colder months. A boot inspired lace unit provides a snug fit, while the high cut design allows it to be worn up or rolled down for an alternative look.
Outside of Nike’s Liberty print SneakerBoot collection, running icon and city style staple, the NIKE AIR MAX 1, has also been given the Liberty treatment as part of the collaboration this season.
The psychedelic Bourton print, originally produced as Liberty print dresses in 1960, adorns both autumnal colourways of the Liberty print SneakerBoot collection, mixing modern street style with classic English heritage. Bourton Armoury Navy teams the print with navy nubuck suede uppers and a tan swoosh, while the Bourton Black features solar red and cracked metallised black leather uppers. Coated rope laces complete both colourways for a refined look.
Inspired by this new line of elevated footwear icons, three London based female creatives took to London each telling their story of how they elevate themselves and their city. Future icons MAX MARSHALL (musician), NATALIA STUYK (digital animator) and THE GIRL MAG (editorial collective) provide a unique insight into their day-to-day lives, while showcasing the style and beauty of the Liberty print SneakerBoot collection in a short look-book film - ‘Icons, Elevated’.
