Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Mercer Amsterdam and NASA Unveiled the W3RD 2.0 Night Mission Shoes

— November 19, 2018 — Fashion
Mercer Amsterdam and NASA joined forces once again following their previous collaboration earlier this year, where the duo unveiled sneakers inspired by Apollo 11 -- the latest partnership introduces the W3RD 2.0 Night Mission sneakers. The new shoes are essentially a darker version of the original collaborative model and they are highlighted by the sleek black finish. On the sides of the sneakers are NASA branding accents in a bold blue and silver engraved details that read "APOLLO XVII" in reference to the original inspiration.

There are also reflective black 3M details that brighten up in the dark in reference to how Apollo 11 was the first-ever rocket launch that took place at night. The new W3RD 2.0 Night Mission sneakers are now available for purchase online at Mercer Amsterdam.
