Nike Doodles on the Zoom Pegasus 35
With DIY swooshes, clouds and stars.
Nike’s collaborations with Travis Scott and Virgil Abloh set a reconstructed, DIY trend for footwear last year, and now the label continues the theme with its latest Zoom Pegasus 35 in collaboration with artist Nathan Bell. Featuring marker-pen doodles on the midsole, heel cup, insole, outsole, tongue and laces, Nike’s handwritten-style quotes and drawings subtlely customise the “Oreo” themed running shoe.
Unicorn horns adorn a sneaker doodle on the tongue while the laces are wrapped with ‘I love 2 run / I hate 2 run’ text. Nike even gives its iconic Swoosh a graphic treatment, appearing hastily sketched onto the shoe. Stars, clouds and the slogans ‘Last one gets a rotten egg / Run to a magical place’ complete the DIY runner.
The Nike Zoom Pegasus 35 will be available on February 14 at Nike and select retailers worldwide.
