Nearly a decade after its first season took the world by storm, the Stranger Things saga will finally come to a close when Netflix drops the show’s fifth and final season later this year. It’s a cultural event that’s sure to have everyone talking — and with that, Stranger Things is celebrating Season 5 with one last Nike collection, a follow-up to their original run from 2019.
As of this writing, first looks at four upcoming Stranger Things Nikes have surfaced. First up is a pair of Stranger Things Dunks featuring cracked leather and upside-down branding, with Midnight Navy on the Swoosh, lining, and outsole (another Dunk is expected to follow). Then comes the LD-1000 in a “Fuchsia Dream/Opti Yellow” colorway, followed by the Field General High in “White/Wolf Grey-Black.”
Perhaps the most notable inclusion is an Air Max 1 ’87 in “White/Team Maroon-Neutral Grey.” Joe Keery — who plays Steve Harrington — was spotted wearing the sneaker in images shared by Stranger Things co-creator Ross Duffer. Given that all Stranger Things x Nike releases align with the show’s timeline, the model’s inclusion suggests Season 5 will take place in the fall of 1987 at the earliest, which is when the Air Max 1 debuted.
No release info for the next Stranger Things x Nike collection has been announced yet, but expect the drop to coincide with the debut of Season 5. Four episodes will air on November 26th, three more on December 25th, and the final episode on December 31st — all at 5:00 PM EST. See first-look images of the sneakers below in the meantime.
