Per Nike:
"The sporting world in 1985 was also undergoing a radical change — energy was reverberating from the summer games in Los Angeles and pro basketball was swinging firmly into its showtime era. At Nike, 1985 was the year visible Air began to take shape (realized two years later in the Air Max I) and when the iconic Dunk emerged on collegiate basketball courts. Meanwhile, the Cortez, Blazer and Tailwind remained sport and style staples, granting a timely authenticity to the Stranger Things collection."
A second drop of shoes is slated to arrive on July 1. Dubbed the "OG Pack," each of these sneakers are built on red, white and blue colorways in celebration of 1985 Independence Day with a year marker on the heel and special firework display sock liner.
