Now, eight years after his last Nike collaboration, we’re finally getting a brand new Parra x Nike design. According to the Swoosh, fans can expect three drops from the artist, a reimagined Air Max 1, Zoom Spiridon, and a tracksuit. All three items feature Parra's multicolored and multi-pattern designs. A friends-and-family version of the Air Max 1 is also part of the pack but — as the name suggests — won’t be available to the general public. 1 / 3 NIKE NIKE NIKE “In some weird way, I feel freer now than earlier in my career,” said Parra in Nike’s announcement of the collab. The design stays true to the artist's fun style, opting for a mix of stripes, polka dots, and graphics to create a patchwork-like upper. Both shoes carry a blue Swoosh alongside pink, blue, orange, and white accents across the upper and midsole. The friends-and-family version removes the Swoosh. In addition to the sneakers, Parra's bright aesthetic will also be featured on the matching track jacket. All three items in the Parra x Nike pack will launch on July 21 at Nike.

The pack has been expanded to include a new take on the Zoom Spiridon silhouette, as well as a friends-and-family Air Max 1 and an accompanying tracksuit. All of the sneakers and the tracksuit feature the same Parra graphics, with a pattern inspired by the city and countryside. The Spiridon sees contrasting patterns running around the lower section of the sneaker, with a metallic blue swoosh, Parra signature on the forefoot and a silver-and-white upper.

The man responsible for some of the most coveted releases of the Nike Air Max 1 is making the shoe his canvas once again. Dutch artist Piet Parra, better known as just Parra, lends his hand to the silhouette once again, and this time, another sneaker joins the collaboration. On Monday, Nike unveiled the all-new editions of the Air Max 1 and Zoom Spiridon by Parra. Each shoe features a matching multipatterned upper for thoroughly unique and eye-catching colorways of the two classic running shoes. Parra x Nike Zoom Spiridon CREDIT: Courtesy of Nike Last collaborating on an Air Max 1 in 2009, the multidisciplinary artist is most famous in the sneaker world for his highly coveted “Amsterdam” colorway of the shoe, which is easily one of its most valuable releases. Now he’s back to reproduce some of that magic with this bold new interpretation. The distinct look, characterized by striped and polka-dotted patterns across the upper, is taken from an abstract painting representing Dutch city and country landscapes (as illustrated by the press photos from Nike here). The artwork was then applied across the upper of both sneakers. Parra x Nike Air Max 1 for friends and family. CREDIT: Courtesy of Nike A second edition of the Air Max 1, with no Swooshes on the lateral sides in favor of a cloud graphic on the midfoot paneling, was also produced, but it will be available only to friends and family of Parra. Completing the collection is a tracksuit sporting the same patterns as the shoes. The Parra x Nike Air Max 1, Zoom Spiridon and tracksuit will be available on July 21 directly from Nike and at select retailers.
