Looking ahead: ACRONYM x NikeLab Air VaporMax Moc 2 Cargo Khaki
Nike’s work with this particular collaboration has arguably been its most inspired to date. The ACRONYM x Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2 Cargo is an indicator of how committed the Swoosh is to looking forward.
The VaporMax Moc 2 is a significant step in the future of footwear because it brings together so many key aspects of futuristic sneaker design. Perhaps the most significant of these is the actual midsole and outsole.
Nike’s VaporMax tech is the latest and greatest in its flagship series of runners. It represents an evolution in impact protection and, perhaps just as importantly, looks aggressively sci-fi.
Combining that feature with some other design details is a surefire way to arrive at footwear of the future. For example, consider some highlights of the upper.
The first and most evident feature might be the abstract graphics on the Flyknit. The aesthetic is imaginative in its execution but also represents a sharpened and streamlined form. This is the sort of visual that Errolson Hugh values.
Hugh is also the perfect name to employ for this sort of project, evidenced by his appreciation for the simplified and functional look of the Moc. That laceless construction is all about forward thinking.
This particular color scheme is nicknamed “Thirsty Bandit.” The Blue tint on that icy sole has earned it the “Cargo” moniker as well. Regardless of what you call it, there’s hardly any argument that this beauty is worth the potential speedy selling out.
