I like the new Danny Kass Zoom Force 1 snowboarding boots for Nike. They look really psychedelic but are as modern as it gets. The illustrated design is made by artist Arbito.
You will definitely be noticed on the slope in a pair of these bad boys, which are part of the signature collection for pro snowboarder Danny Kass. I think collaborating with Seattle-based artist Arbito absolutely rocks the Nike style.
The artist is known for his brightly-colored hallucinogenic paintings; the artwork applied on these boots gives them a bit of Beatles magic, a la the cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
The Nike collection also includes hoodies and tees in this gorgeous psychedelic print. Warning: The video is pretty tripped out. Danny Kass is riding a hot dog and sucking on yellow snow…
