Editor's Notes: Nike’s “What the” series originally began in 2007 with the release of Nike SB's Nothing But the Truth video part and is currently reselling in the 6-digit range. This University of Oregon pair continues its legacy with a series of colorful, patterned panels across the upper.

Y/Project x Salomon Speedcross 3

Editor's Notes: One of the last chances to buy something from Y/PROJECT’s Glenn Martens era, these scrunched-up trail sneakers are an experimental take on a rugged running shoe from the 2010s.
