This Nike X Crocs collaborative concept doesn’t seem so absurd in 2020

Posted on by

One is literally the biggest sports apparel company in the world, and the other is a viral sensation turned into a fashion faux-pas. It’s unlikely that Nike and Crocs would ever collaborate just because it’s perhaps one of the unholiest of unions, but let’s take a second to appreciate this conceptual ‘what-if’ product from the mind of Kegan McDaniel.

Say hello to probably the most bizarre shoe collab in history. This pair of Nike Air-Jordans X Crocs collaborative clogs surely will make you feel a bunch of things, including, hopefully, a second reckoning. While the idea of footwear co-created by Nike, Jordan, and Crocs may sound absurd at first, these clogs honestly don’t look all that bad. I mean hey, I’d wear them… probably.

The shoes come in the distinctive single-piece design that’s archetypal with the Crocs brand, with a silhouette that seems familiar too. Its details, however, borrow influences directly from the Air Jordan 1, with a perforated toebox and that iconic swoosh that wraps around the back of your foot, becoming the heel-strap.

Honestly, the Nike X Crocs footwear are a bit of an acquired taste. They’ll almost definitely evoke a negative reaction at first sight (sort of like looking at the Yeezy flip flops for the first time), but after a while you’ll definitely warm up to the idea them. After all, it’s 2020. Weirder things have happened.

This Nike Air Jordans Inspired limited-edition Xbox wins the NBA All-Star weekend!

Posted on by

The two giant worlds of tech and sports are colliding or rather collaborating, and I can already hear the NBA fans, sneakerheads and gamers fist-bumping in unison! Microsoft and Nike have teamed up to make a limited-edition custom Xbox One that is rightfully going to paint the town red this Valentine’s day. Here’s the catch – only one lucky Twitter user can win this exclusive console and all you have to do is retweet THIS tweet from Xbox. And if you are looking for Nike’s latest pair of Jordans, you will only find that at the NBA festivities in Chicago.

The bold edition of Xbox is inspired by Nike’s new Air Jordan III Retro U sneaker and you can also spot Nike’s iconic ‘Jumpman’ logo on the right. The top of the console is covered with the elephant print texture that is found on the Jordan shoes and it comes with two controllers. Microsoft hinted at the collaboration and the release of this custom Xbox lines up perfectly with the NBA All-Star in Chicago – also explains why the red was chosen for the console, it is a nod to the Chicago Bulls’ signature shade. Microsoft collaborates with brands for one-of-a-kind Xbox consoles often but this is one of their sleekest designs so far.

If I was you, I would already be retweeting this with both my twitter accounts – you know one for work and one for the rants!
