| Alkaline Trio’s Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush |
From the very beginning of action sports, punk music has always been blasting out the speakers. As the two have grown up together, they’ve only gotten closer. And now, Nike 6.0 is taking it one step further by hooking up with punk icons, Alkaline Trio.
The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush is the love-child of Alkaline Trio’s irrepressible creativity and Nike 6.0’s relentless pursuit of innovation. "We chose red and black as the main colors to reflect our Chicago roots and pay homage to the Bulls. We are huge fans,” said Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. “I’m also into sneakers, so seeing the Swoosh and our logo on one product is unbelievable. The shoe looks amazing and provides some insight into who we are.” The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush and a limited run of messenger bags will be released June 27th exclusively at Jacks Retail Shop in Huntington Beach. Alkaline Trio recently kicked off their summer tour in support of their new album “Agony and Irony” and the release of the shoe. The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush will be available at select retailers nationwide on July 11th. The shoe pops with custom reflective details and bike-tread inspired graphics, which symbolize the band’s early days in Chicago where they worked as bike messengers. The Heart and Sole Cush is also constructed of all synthetics, which was of utmost importance to the vegetarian members of the band. Available at Nike.com |
