On-Foot Look: Skepta x Nike Shox TL
The release of is on the horizon, and we’ve got an on-foot look to whet your appetite.
Paying homage to Skepta's Nigerian heritage, the grime artist’s fourth Nike link-up sports a blacked-out upper and chrome Swoosh, all perched on red Shox pillars.
‘I take pride in the fact that I know my surname, and I know where I’m from and both my parents are Nigerian,’ he says. ‘It was about bringing Nike to Nigeria and letting the kids know the energy.’
An important silhouette during Skepta's upbringing, the SHOX brings back fond childhood memories.
'When I used to go to Manchester, all the kids were rocking SHOX. It was a real street shoe there. I liked their swag — the windbreakers and the SHOX. I thought ‘Yeah, let’s definitely do that,’ because I always remember those trips up north.'
