Nike and Stüssy work in collaboration once again and this time, the two present a special surfboard which is unveiled through a 40-second-long video. In the content, surfer Sara Taylor is seen riding the waves on top of the co-branded surfboard. The board is detailed with a purple line that runs along the stringer laid in the middle of the board.
Stüssy's logo is seen on the middle of the nose and Nike's swoosh motif is marked on the right side of the surfboard. In the teaser for an upcoming collection, it is noted that the capsule will be launching officially on July 12th. Taylor is seen wearing a black sports top and orange board shorts.
