The devastatingly simple design of the Clear Box by Japanese artist Nao has become a popular commodity among sneaker fans alike. His original product was well received and resulted in collaborations with Sold Out and most recently Nort. For the upcoming release of the 2008 Be True To Your School Dunks, Nort teamed up with Nike and Nao to produce a special clearbox. The box will not be available for sale, instead the first 30 customers to purchase Nike Vintage products (i.e. BTTYS Dunks) will be given a box for free. Alternative methods include a raffle via Sneaker TV.
