The Nike V2K Run: The World Is At Your Feet with Raghd

The early 2000s were marked by the emergence of the individual, as the world became more and more connected, it became easier to express and find yourself. That’s exactly what the V2K is about – the fluid, expressive self. This profoundly self-expressive energy informs the architecture of this novel, retro-futurist look across a conflux of gorgeous materials. Realized with a lightweight mesh base, the upper is layered with careful cuts of glistening silver leather and calculated translucent rubber cages that band the laterals reminiscent of the beloved Zoom Vomero 5. Amping up the future forward design, we find an abstract, off-white Cushlon foam midsole underfoot that bursts upwards towards the heel before being cinched in towards the midfoot. A racy contrast of influences, eras, and style, the V2K has been meticulously crafted to offer a silhouette that serves the nostalgic style we all look for while delivering a modern potency that ensures it’s a shoe for your every day, no matter the vibe.

To celebrate the release of the enigmatic Nike V2K Run we linked up with Raghd, a transcendent multi-hyphenate from Sweden whose soulful, vibrant music strides unwaveringly into the future while keeping both eyes on the past. With hundreds of thousands of listeners, we can wholeheartedly recommend Raghd’s latest EP ‘A Good Friend’ if you’re in the mood for a beautiful listen.
