Founder of A-COLD-WALL*, Samuel Ross, and Nike have come together again to present the Zoom Vomero +5 to present a capsule collection of garments to accompany the two colourways of the collaborative sneaker.

Speaking of the design concept behind the shoes, "With the Vomero, there has been this opportunity to really exalt the technology of its time and modernize the aesthetic, which is uncompromised to its purpose and function," says Ross. "It's interesting to look at a shoe which has such a beautiful and polished wire frame, and then to be able to isolate individual aspects of that shoe, to really exalt the technology. It is very exciting to take something that is very beautiful and to not necessarily reinterpret but to re-evaluate the product." 

Playing with the way the materials react to the elements from use, there is a continual shift in the aesthetics from wear to wear, specifically the yellowing of the upper due to the absence of the PU coating. 

Sharing the concept of the shoes, are the garments within the collection explained by Ross, "With the garments that we produce with Nike, there is this element of sophistication weaved through the simplistic shapes, which have these small details. Those details come down to the use of things, like Japanese nylon on the Parka, something that is initially coarse but with wear actually soften."
