Nike Vandalised

The original Vandal is a high-top basketball shoe that first released in 1984 and is most well known for its collar strap, the Vandalized is more of a concept design sketch come to life.

The cut is towering and the lacing system is gone completely, replaced instead by single toggle on each foot. Layering is key here as well, with both the toe box and the askew midfoot Swooshes barely hanging on thanks to their delicately-stitched details. The beefed-up midsole is slightly more bulky than its sleek predecessors. The design appears to be pilfered directly from the Air Force 1, providing an amalgamation of two beloved 80’s styles.
