The most notable element of the latest work between the two takes a charitable and awareness angle with a pledge that $10,000 USD donated to RAINN. RAINN is the largest anti-sexual violence organization in America and Klincewicz had always embodied an inclusive world perspective. The three Bold Ni LX colorways are entitled 'Community," "Communication," and "Compassion." Community is a dark green hue, Communication is light purple, and Compassion is black. The sneakers are all detailed with its respective tonal name at the top of the tongue in a contrasting foil material informed in a bright gold.
