The Nike Jam Train, Nike's first shoe dedicated to the Breaking discipline, features a collaboration with Futura, the American contemporary artist and former graffiti artist from New York City.
When it comes to breaking (also called breakdancing, a word invented by the journalist back in the days), the Bronx NYC is the place to start.
So this collaboration makes more than sense, nodding to hip-hop culture, the origins of breaking and its culmination in the Olympic Games.
Developed down to the smallest detail to meet the needs of this spectacular and artistic dance, the Nike Jam once again reveals the sporting and performance DNA of the Swoosh brand.
This special edition, created in partnership with Futura, features a breathable white mesh upper with synthetic leather and suede overlays for added resistance. The graffiti artist has customized the entire lining of the pair as well as the insoles in shades of pink and purple. Black contrasts the pair on the swoosh, outsole and other branding elements, while the graffiti artist's signature appears on the Misole of the right foot, adding that final touch that makes all the difference.
This Futura x Nike Jam Train is part of a whole sports collection created for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
They will be available globally on September 13th at a retail price on 129.99€/119.99£/130$
