The Whitaker Group has been pumping out a bevy of recent footwear collaborations, such as its Social Status x Nike Attack and A Ma Maniére x Jordan Air Ship “White/Black” team-up. And to ring in August with even more energy, Nike has tapped it to host a DMV-exclusive release of an Air Foamposite One “Dream a World” colorway.

The kicks are designed to celebrate the DMV’s rich heritage with the classic Swoosh hoops sneaker. Taking inspiration from Langston Hughes’ poem “I Dream A World”, the execution on the Foamposite features brushstroke patterns across its ribbed base layer that is styled with “Sepia Stone” and “Metallic Silver” hues. Special messaging is included on the insoles and in all-over fashion across the shoe boxes that read: “Luck/Success Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity.” The tissue paper is styled with “Insert Your Dreams Here” spell-outs to encourage others to share their visions with the world. In addition, you’ll find the kicks riding atop a gum outsole.

To coincide with the announcement, Social Status pieced together a campaign that entails a poem written and narrated by award-winning Baltimore native author and poet Kondwani Fidel that references key figures and spaces within the Baltimore community.

The DMV-exclusive Nike Foamposite “Dream a World” is lined up to drop in-store via Social Status Baltimore and A Ma Maniére D.C. and through each retailer’s website. There are only 850 pairs reserved for the in-store drops while select units will be saved for the online audience on August 12.
