Marking the end of an era following the series finale, Nike has tapped the Air Foamposite One for its final collaborative tribute to Stranger Things. By utilizing one of the most aggressive silhouettes in basketball history, the partnership concludes by embracing the psychological horror and dark atmosphere of the show’s climax.
The sneaker’s signature molded upper serves as a canvas for the Upside Down, featuring a haunting gradient that transitions from a void-like black into a fiery crimson. Jagged lightning graphics surge across the shoe, creating a cinematic sense of movement. The storytelling is furthered by inverted details, such as Penny Hardaway’s “1-Cent” logo flipped on the heel, which serves as a literal interpretation of the Upside Down. Inside, the design remains just as intricate, with insoles showcasing artwork inspired by the antagonist, Vecna.
To complete the experience, the pair is housed in custom-themed packaging featuring unique accessories. These include stamps representing the Hellfire Club, WSQK Radio and the iconic rubber chicken, cementing this release as the definitive collector’s piece for the franchise’s legacy.
