Nike‘s Nike SB skate subdivision for a punk-inspired SB Dunk Low. Of course, Verdy is no stranger to SB collaborations his Osaka-exclusive Girls Don’t Cry SB Dunk Low was one of 2019’s most highly regarded releases but this marks his first through his Wasted Youth label.
Punk inspiration is readily apparent on the shoe’s black denim upper, which features a multitude of tonal patches and a clever application of butter-soft leather on mudguards, Swooshes and top eyestays alike. The most notable detail is present on the left shoe’s medial quarter, where an embroidered red flower with a white stem envelops the Swoosh.
Nike “Rayguns” pack is looking to the archives for its next style namely, the Air Raid. A Tinker Hatfield-designed, Tim Hardaway-endorsed basketball shoe that made its retail debut in 1992 and has released in a handful of classic colorways this fall, the Raid’s multi-texture upper and signature criss-crossing straps lend themselves well to the fictional ABA team’s vibrant color palette.
Bright “Team Orange” tones appear on the nubuck toebox and mesh quarter panels, while overlays are mostly done up in black nubuck. Blaze orange straps criss-cross across the black mesh tongue, secured by “Team Orange” plastic pieces and Velcro straps on each side of the collar branded on the lateral side, unadorned on the medial side. A green Rayguns basketball logo is placed on the tongue, and three colorful stars run down the heel tab.

Bill Allen has thrived as the mechanical systems design lead for three Mars rover missions, but he got his start as a teenager sorting letters for the NASA center.
Don t tell Bill Allen he can t take risks.
Allen was just 17 years old when he first set foot on the grounds of NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to join the mailroom in the summer of 1981. Voyager had recently encountered Saturn, and the Lab was crawling with members of the media. It was like walking into a football stadium in the middle of the touchdown. It was electric, he says. This is something that doesn t go on anywhere else in the world, and to be immersed in it with your first footsteps was crazy. That alone was awe-inspiring.
