The Phoks NighKee series features the famed shoes with various iconic connotations like the [Micky Mouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loungefly-1), aka NighKee Mouse, one as well as the brown NighKee Sneakolate and the NighKee Spider. I love Phoks’ unique, fun and playful drawing style. **Implications** - One of the fastest ways a company can generate publicity and attract consumers is by creating co-branded, short-term specialty products.
