With the coming release of the Nike 112 Pack, DJ Clark Kent also designed a New Era 59FIFTY to match the sneakers. The cap features the same materials and colorway as the sneakers; using the elephant print on the underbrim, 3M retro-reflective material on the brim and one of the rear panels; neon green is used for the embroidery of B on the front and 112_ _ on the rear panel, both symbolic of Clark Kent’s hometown of Brooklyn. An anticipated release date has been set for the 2nd week of July.

Nike’s insatiable appetite for making things faster and lighter has seen them push the performance envelope time and time again. New for this year was the creation of Lunarfoam, a space age material which offers uncompromising weight and responsiveness relative to Nike’s previous most lightweight material, Phylon. Coupled with the weight reducing Flywire material, the Lunaracer has the makings of an incredibly featherweight but highly supportive piece of footwear engineering. When weight is not paramount, the Lunartrainer features a highly breathable mesh upper to get you through the most intense training sessions. Both are available now at Sold Out.
