Released in collaboration with Futura, this Nike Blazer sports a suede black upper with contrasting, green curry Swoosh and tongue. The design is tied together with Jedi green laces, toe tips and Nike branding. Brooklyn local Leonard Hilton McGurr, known as Futura, is one of the founding fathers of the graffiti movement in New York. Futura started his career in the 1970s tagging subway walls as Futura 2000, a nod to his favorite movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick). Futura belongs to a notable group of artists that came out of New York City during this period, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Dondi White, all of whom exhibited at Fun Gallery in the ’80s. Futura is an admired illustrator, photographer and fashion designer whose art touches many different spheres of public life.
