Nike continues to grow its ongoing partnership alongside streetwear imprint Stüssy with a pair of the LD-1000 sneaker model. The shoes are highly anticipated and it was refreshed with a neon green colorway palette which is followed by a slew of co-branded accents.
At the base of the shoes, the silhouette is crafted from airy mesh materials for breathability and then layered with suede materials before being adorned with the historic Waffle tread unit. It was introduced as a part of the most recent SNKRS showcase. Stüssy has recently announced that the shoes will be officially launching on Friday, July 12th available at Stüssy chapter stores and at Dover Street Market locations and will roll out in early August.
