The action sports 6.0 collection from Nike has looked to punk band Alkaline Trio to embody the brand’s spirit in this latest Air Zoom Cush collaboration titled “Heart and Soul”. The stylings of the new Dunk-esque Cush relate to the band’s history through the use of unique details and materials. Among the highlights are the Chicago Bulls inspired black/red colorway, in homage to Alkaline Trio’s Chicago roots. Furthermore, reflective accents and bike-tread graphics are a tribute to Alkaline Trio and their meeting as respective bike messengers. The all synthetic upper was chosen to reflect the vegetarian nature of each band member. In the midst of a tour to support their latest album, Agony and Irony, the shoes will see their initial release with a messenger bag at Jacks Retail Shop (Huntington Beach) on June 27th, with a nationwide rollout on July 11th.

Pacsun dream? Naw, Pacsun nightmare. They don’t get this and it’s soooo much more rare than nearly every SB out there. Nearly any punk fan will recognize what this is and be stoked. Hey, in case you haven’t noticed, 6.0 has less distribution than SB now. But if you’re all hyped out you wouldn’t have taken the time to pull your head from the hole in the ground you’ve been stuck in to even notice.

They dropped today at Ground Zero Boardshop in Roseville, CA. They look even better in person. It’s a Dunk silhouette with a different sole. It’s crazy light and the upper is all vegan friendly synthetic.

Does anyone know what stores the shoes can be found in? Preferrably in Chicago? You would think a Chicago band would release them in their hometown, but I guess you can’t have it all, right?
