Stranger Things x Nike ‘Hawkins High’ and ‘OG Pack’ Release Date
Written by SOURCE on June 12, 2019
After a handful of teasers throughout the week, Nike’s long-rumored Stranger Things collaboration has been officially unveiled.
As previously reported, the collection includes a range of apparel, but there’s also a batch of sneakers that hadn’t been confirmed until now. Tapping into the season’s retro setting, Nike has chosen a handful of ’70s sneakers (the Blazer, Cortez, and Tailwind) to represent the series on the footwear side. The collection will drop in two groups: a green-and-orange-accented pack inspired by the show’s Hawkins High school and a second “OG Pack” with styles that flash back to Independence Day of 1985.
The “Hawkins High” lineup includes a Blazer with a white leather upper, orange Swoosh with a green outline, and a green heel. Its medial side features an outlines Swoosh and a badge inspired by the school’s mascot. The Cortez uses a white leather upper with a green Swoosh and an orange stripe across its midsole. Lastly, the Tailwind has an all green upper with an orange Swoosh. This collection drops June 27 alongside matching apparel, which can be seen further down below.
The “OG Pack” includes the same three sneakers, but switches up the theme for a 4th of July-appropriate color combination. The Blazer is blocked in mostly blue, while the Cortez takes on a red-based look. The outlier is the Tailwind, which blends a white upper with a red Swoosh and blue liner. This collection drops July 1 just ahead of the holiday.
