Cool Hunting
255, the Nike iD boutique in Manhattan's Nolita, typically plays host to a small group of invited guests. Sometimes, though, larger parties are thrown. Such was the case a couple months back when Stash and Futura brought along 30 friends.
That night the graf artist and the shop keep designed a shoe together and even made a logo to go along with it. And Nike manufactured a pair for everyone in attendance. As far as I know, this is the first picture of the Stash and Futura Dunk. I like how the simple earthy tones are contrasted by the bright turquoise and blue logo.
So what else is news at 255? The lottery is up on the Nike iD site, the NYC location will remain open through the holidays and new boutiques are being planned for Milan, Paris and London.
UPDATE: Thanks to all of you in Italy who wrote in to point out that the Stash / Futura logo is identical to the Trenitalia's. I'm trying to track Stash or Futura to find out what they have to say about it, so stay tuned for more.

Launched in the Japanese magazine Marc Newson as a multi purpose shoe for cosmonauts, it's named for the Russian space dog that ventured aboard Sputnik 10 in 1961. While it may look like a reinvention of the Jelly, it promises to be the next major accomplishment in footwear engineering. If you're in London, you might be able to decide for yourself when Newson's show...
