The cult classic film Friday the 13th celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and honor that, artist and designer Warren Lotas celebrates Jason Voorhees legacy with Nike. Nike and Lotas work in collaboration on the signature Dunk Low sneaker model.
It is constructed from a blend of different types of leather and will be a limited edition. It has a white base foundation detailed with green suede leather overlay on top. The Swoosh detail is complete in a cream hue panelled on top with small perforations along with black and red details. This is done to replicate the look of the signature hockey mask that Voorhees wears in the films. Rounding out the sneakers are red laces to contrast the rest of the sneaker.
