To raise awareness for the global fight against cancer, Nike Sportswear has re designed eight of its most coveted and iconic collaborations from the last decade and will re-release them as part of this exclusive LIVESTRONG Collection. Split into two installments, the first four-shoe pack drops in July during the Tour de France and features what can only be described as ‘holy grails’ of the sneaker scene.
Only one name holds the same revered stature in the sneaker game as Mister Cartoon and that would be East Coast brethren, Futura. A long-term collaborative partner, NY’s Futura has worked with Nike on numerous occasions providing design innovation at every step. For LIVESTRONG, he updated his most desired shoe, the FLOM (aka For the Love Of Money). Originally released by Nike SB and limited to only 24 pairs, the FLOM was gifted to friends leaving collectors yearning all over the world. This July, they’ll get their chance to make amends.

it says they get to “make ammends” so maybe they’ll just be a quickstrike or tier zero, not a hyperstrike…

EDITORIAL CORRECTION PLEASE: the FLOM is an ACRONYM; which means FOR LOVE or MONEY. it does NOT mean; FOR LOVE of MONEY. obviously the difference between (or) and (of) in this context is very significant. they are POLAR OPPOSITES. I am personally OVER any positivity or negativity anyone may bestow upon me; when everyone has it all TWISTED. this release is about raising money for the LIVESTRONG effort. that being said; we know the AFTERMARKET will inflate the VALUE and demand FOUR DIGITS . . . and that’s FUCKED UP.
