For sneaker fiends, it’s hard to believe that there is anything closer than kicks as a man’s best friend. This season, London’s design collective, Vinti Andrews took one of the most popular silhouettes, Air Max from Nike, took it apart and recreated it in the form of man’s most loyal friend. Unlike your usual collaborations, the Air Max Dog is mixed and patched from various Air Maxes in multiple colorways. Some die-hard fans might gasp at the desecration, but this is not the first time Vinti Andrews laid hands on some coveted Nike kicks. Previously, there had been the Jordan V Dog and the Nike Pitbull. Other than some masterful color coordination, check out the spiked collar on the Air Max puppy. Honestly, the best kicks plus the most loyal creature without the troubles of toilet training?
