UNDERCOVER and Nike work in collaboration on four new tonal iterations of the OverBreak SP sneaker model for the SS21 season. The colorways include Beige and White, Black and White, White, Black, Gold, and Red, and finally, Gray, Black, and Red.
Designer Jun Takahashi gives the sporty model an update in his own imagination, detailing the model with accents true to his own aesthetics. This time around, the shoe is made up of suede and mesh materials across the upper before the scale framing wraps itself around the eyelets and the vamp area. The branding Swoosh adorns itself on the side of the shoe along with a rose embroidery as a nod to the Gyakusou running line before rounding it out with "CHAOS/BALANCE" on the toe box.
