The Stone Island x NikeLab Sock Dart Mid Releases Next Thursday

Tobie Hatfield’s Nike Sock Dart was a cult-classic the moment it debuted in 2004. Since then, Nike Sportswear has rightfully returned the running model to its proper place as a heralded lifestyle crossover through collaborations with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design and a number of new constructions from Tech Fleece to new SE toolings. The original featured a game-changing computerized knit upper and was the first step toward Nike’s advancement in Flyknit technology. Now the upcoming Stone Island Nike Sock Dart Mid collaboration once again reinvents the model with updated water-resistant materials on January 26th in three colorways.

Stone Island transforms the Nike Sock Dart with a new mid-cut design with a silicon print upper created through Nike’s sandwich mesh fabric in Italy. What resulted was a graphic texturized upper with a faded aesthetic that not only will turn heads but maintains the Sock Dart’s heralded ventilation system and flexibility. The Stone Island Nike Sock Dart Mid also features an updated Ariaprene collar while the natural motion-tooled outsole adds additional multi-directional patterns for a better grip this winter season.

Stone Island’s NikeLab Sock Dart Mid collaboration will be available January 26th at NikeLab retailers, online at nike.com/nikelab, Stone Island Flagship Stores and at stoneisland.com. Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for more Release Date updates right here on Sneaker News.
