Neck Face is a graffiti artist that also uses other mediums like video and paper-mache sculpting to convey his unique art style. The artist has garnered a large following that appreciates his intriguing artworks, which typically depict malevolent and nightmare-inducing creatures. Early images of his upcoming sneaker endeavors with Nike showcase his creative art on the innovative SB Dunk Low silhouette.
Skulls, snakes, and swords cover the low-cut sneaker on top of a black suede base. Midsoles feature a lightning-patterned tape around the back end of the shoe, and the tongues have been redesigned with Neck Face’s touch, reading “Face SB.”
The Neck Face SB Dunk Low is expected to debut around Halloween 2022.
