In 2015, Nike collaborated with Errolson Hugh and his tech subsidiary ACRONYM for the first time. The result was a cutting-edge sneaker - the Nike Lunar Force 1. Apart from a core of techwear-loving fans, many people didn't understand that Nike and Errolson were going to change the future of footwear. Today, it's almost impossible to get hold of one of his Nike collaborations. In addition, many other brands have followed the new tech trend and released their own functional models, often made of ultra-light materials, waterproof straps and smart lacing systems. To showcase some of today's most coveted techwear sneakers, we've teamed up with one of the techwear scene's all-time greats: neo-Tokyo illustrator and Berlin mastermind Johnny Terror. Johnny, who has already collaborated with Nike ACG and even designed a flyer for Errolson himself, presents five techwear sneakers embedded in his very own futuristic world and characters. The tech era has just begun and these are the forerunners of this generation.
There would be no sneaker tech wear hype without this shoe and the collaboration between these two brands. Originally released in 2015, Nike and ACRONYM have done it again, releasing a white-on-white version of this deconstructed hyped zip madness. The king is back.
