zed character reminiscent of the Earth positioned above the laces, the blue details on the heel, the orange sockliner, the green eyelets, the yellow tongue and the “SW” monogram on the tongue and on the heel. All the shoe is made by recycled materials wich underlines the attention of Sean Wotherspoon for the nature and the planet earth.
Sean Wotherspoon is one of the most famous name sneakers-related in the world since the drop of his Airmax 1/97 in collaboration with nike in 2018.
After that he kept working on sneakers and designs with other collaboration with nike and several other brands like Vespa and Asics. Now he is working with Adidas and he already had different models signed by him, like the Adidas Orktero and the Superturf.
Wotherspoon which, has always been a sneakered, opened his first store named “Round Two” in Virginia and after winning with his Airmax 97/1 the 2018 Airmax day contest he opened a second store in New York and after that his fame started to grow.
In the last period the american brand has returned to being relevant not only among a more adult target of people or in the running and sports section, but it is also attracting great interest among young people thanks to the rejuvenation process initiated by the brand with the launch of various new silhouettes and collaborations: starting from the 550 in collaboration with Aime Leon Dore released in 2019 which then
led to the revival of the brand and other shoe models such as the 990 v2, the 990 v3, the 520, the 2002r and the 2002r “protection pack”. The brand equity is grown exponentially in recent years going to shorten the distances with the main competitors like Nike, Adidas and Asics, also thanks to the depopulation of the brand on tiktok where there are thousands of videos of outfits wearing a silhouette signed by the Boston house on their feet.
