Sub Pop Records has recently embarked on a new collaboration with Nike SB. The legendary Seattle-based record label that was a key influence in the Grunge-era have used a similar design scheme found on their 3rd Sub Pop Singles Club “Gebel Barkal” album, from the band OM, and applied it onto a pair of Blazer Elites. Watch out for this Quickstrike release sometime in July this year.
