The excitement surrounding Nike and its Nike SB sub-label has been building recently, thanks to news of upcoming collaborations with HUF, Skate Like a Girl, and Concepts.
With the first leaks of Neck Face‘s Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration trickling out, the Swoosh’s skate division is stirring up even more excitement for its fans.
Neck Face is a graffiti artist who also dabbles in other mediums such as video and paper-mache sculpture. He has a large following and is well-known for his captivating artworks, which frequently depict villainous creatures and nightmare-like scenery.
Early images of his upcoming sneaker collaboration show his ghastly art on the creative cover of the SB Dunk Low. Patches of terrifying skull faces, snakes, swords held by a demonic hand, flames, and more are stitched onto the low-slung silhouette with an all-black backdrop.
The midsoles are covered in black tape with lightning-like patterns, while the flames cover the midsoles. The tongues have also been changed to say “Face SB” to give a direct nod to the artist.
Rumor has it that these will be released around Halloween, but Nike has yet to confirm this.
