Originally introduced in the late 1970s, this iconic silhouette is celebrated for its signature waffle sole and the unmistakable Nike Swoosh.

 

The new collaboration showcases these vintage elements while introducing a fresh twist with two distinct colorways: Action Green and Phantom.

 

However, the collection transcends footwear. It bridges the gap between land and sea with a versatile apparel line. This includes UV-protective swimwear, cozy fleece loungewear, and breathable linen jackets, all designed with the relaxed fits that both brands are known for.

 

Each piece embodies the effortless cool and functionality that Stüssy and Nike fans have come to expect. This limited-edition collection is available globally at select Stüssy chapter stores, Dover Street Market locations, and online at stussy.com.

From Surfboards to the Streets
