While images of Verdy’s plushie “Visty” Dunks have taken social media by storm, a less fluffy reimagination of the Japanese graphic designer’s charming monster character is also hitting the scene—the Nike SB Ishod 2.
A Closer Look at the Sneaker
In this iteration, Verdy’s Nike SB Air Max Ishod eschews the fluffy exterior of the Dunk Lows, opting instead for a more subdued blend of suede, mesh, corduroy, and leather. But don’t worry, it still exudes that enchanting pastel charm with baby blue, bubblegum pink, minty green, and soft yellow tones, all nodding to Visty’s distinctive palette.
The pastel green and blue shades dominate the design, bringing life to the sneaker’s smooth suede, corduroy and mesh panels. Meanwhile, soft yellow and pink hues accentuate areas like the side Swooshes, collar, and laces, effortlessly fitting into the sneaker’s whimsical aesthetic.
You may even notice the off-centre “VERDY” branding on the right shoe’s tongue, with “ISHOD” taking over the left. As a delightful finishing touch, the insole showcases the adorable little monster mid-skate flip, adding even more personality to this already lively design.
