The hit Netflix show Stranger Things reminded us that friends don't lie. They also share important sneaker restock updates. In the lead-up to the final season of Stranger Things, Nike and Converse dropped an epic sneaker collaboration throughout the holiday shopping season.
While not all of the sneakers are back in stock, three popular models are back in limited-edition colorways (while supplies last). Below is a detailed look and breakdown of each shoe that is currently available online.
Inspired by retro silhouettes, the Nike Field General was actually a new shoe that sports a throwback White and Wolf Grey design. Eleven wore it while she trained for a final showdown with Vecna. The shoes come with special packaging and accessories.
The colorway features a dreamy Fuchsia Dream and Viotech color scheme. It is inspired by 1987 nostalgia and features plenty of Stranger Things Easter Eggs. The retro Nike logo on the tongues and heels are upside down, along with special insoles celebrating the show. Special packaging, extra laces, and accessories come with the kicks.
The silhouette features a gradient upper that fades from Black to Bright Crimson, with lightning bolt graphics. The Off-Noir vines that connect to Vecna's throne wrap around the shoe. Even cooler, the vines glow in the dark. Lastly, NBA legend Penny Hardaway's signature "1 Cent" logo appears upside down on the heels.
Unfortunately, the most popular sneakers did not restock. That includes the Nike Dunk Low x Stranger Things, Nike x Stranger Things Air Max 1 "Steve Harrington", Converse x Stranger Things Chuck 70 "Rockin' Robin", and Converse x Stranger Things Weapon "Delightful Derek".
Stranger Things had plenty of cool collaborations, but this was an all-time favorite for sneakerheads. Stay locked into Sports Illustrated's Kicks On SI for all your footwear news from the upside down and beyond.
