Aside from the obligatory Bob Marley incense sold at pretty much every shopping mall, it’s not all that common to see a reggae act collaborate with commercial products. But that’s not the case for arguably the most successful non-Jamaican sound system in the entire world, Japan’s Mighty Crown. Going on twenty years of doing all kinds of delightful things with dub plates, Mighty Crown has already shown us a Dunk High Premium on the way in celebration of their two decades, but that clearly wasn’t all they have in the works with Nike Sportswear. This new Mighty Crown x Nike Sky Force 88 Low Quickstrike is considerably quieter than the Dunks when it comes to sheer number of textures, but a macro snake skin print on the combination of glossy patent leather and reflective 3M makes for one heckuva standout shoe in its own right.

The Sky Force Low makes for an easy, casual wear for those who prefer the vintage/retro look, but even if you’re a new school cat, these are very much rockable for the summer. Check out the detailed angles of all three upcoming colorways and let us know which of the three you like best. via Step.
