Italian brand Stone Island are known for using high-tech, durable materials and their collaboration with Nike is no different. This release of the Nike x Stone Island NikeLab Sock Dart ‘Black’ marked a couple of firsts for Nike; 1) the Sock Dart silhouette is presented in a mid-cut version AND 2) the water-resistant upper (inc. strap) features a silicon engineered print. An all-black hyper-stretch mesh upper and an adjustable midfoot strap in a smoky grey. The tick logo is subtle, this time on the mudguard edge of the cross band and there’s a Stone Island badge on the tongue. The inner sole has amazing traction thanks to sipe-patterned pads. Released on 26th January 2017. Available now on Solezilla.
