Wish ATL x Nike Give Fresh Air

Written by Wish ATL on . Posted in Events.

GIVE FRESH AIR IS A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE THAT UNIFIES THE SNEAKER COMMUNITY AROUND A SHARED PASSION TO IGNITE CHANGE.

THROUGHOUT MARCH 2021, WE COLLABORATED WITH NIKE TO INSPIRE COMMUNITIES TO GIVE “AIR” THROUGH SHOE DONATIONS THAT SUPPORT LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.

With the positive outreach from our community, Wish was able to collect new and gently worn shoes that we donated to the Chris 180 Organization for those in need.

We asked our donors to participate in our Women’s History Month initiative by writing a message of empowerment to the future generation of women. Each message was saved and released via balloon at the end of the month as a visual representation of “giving fresh air” and showing support for the women in the community.

The journey women face can be tough, but we honor their resilience, grace, and their fight to push through no matter what barriers they might face. Above all, the uphill battle is what makes women, women!

Nike’s First Ever Hands-Free Shoe: The Go FlyEase

Written by Wish ATL on . Posted in Events.

When presented with a preview of the Nike Go Flyease, the first-ever completely hands-free sneaker, offering convenience without sacrificing performance or style, we wanted to partner with an organization that would utilize this adaptive new technology in their daily life.

Good innovation turns the complex into the simple. Nike Go FlyEase works because the tensioner band and bi-stable hinge hold the shoe in a steady open position.

We were given an amazing opportunity to team up with BlazeSports, a non-profit organization whose mission is to change the lives of children and veterans with physical disabilities through adaptive sports and recreation. With this partnership, honorable athletes got to experience a new adaptivity designed to add ease to any day-to-day routine.

We are honored to be a part of this experience assisting these amazing athletes to blaze a trail and achieve their goals.

A very special thank you to Nike for this partnership and BlazeSports for the outstanding work you are doing in our community and beyond.

Nike by Olivia Kim Collection

Written by Wish ATL on . Posted in Release Dates.

Available Friday November 8 at Wish ATL.

“Bringing together nostalgia and personal style, Nike is partnering with native New Yorker, Olivia Kim, on the Nike by Olivia Kim collection, a capsule of apparel, footwear and accessories that evoke the fun, playful side of New York City in the 90s. Inspired by Olivia’s childhood love of Nike and the vibrant, creative culture during her formative years growing up in Downtown Manhattan.”


“The capsule is a perfect confluence of classic Nike designs with Olivia’s style rooted in the rave and hip-hop styles defining that era. Think 90s subculture in New York where DIY fashion reigned the streets and youth culture everywhere was reclaiming their childhood through sartorial expression.”

–https://www.nike.com/launch/t/olivia-kim-collection/

Nike x Olivia Kim Air Max ’98

The Air Max ’98, featuring full-length Air technology, borrows from the iconoclastic Air Max 120 (originally released in 1998) paired with red, green and yellow accents to create a sense of vibrant street elegance.

Nike x Olivia Kim Footscape

A cult classic since its launch in 1996, Olivia references the OG Footscape design created by the Nike sport research lab, but flips it with a pink and zebra print. With these sneakers, she unites a universally downtown punk attitude found on St. Marks in the East Village all the way to the underground energy of Tokyo.

Nike x Olivia Kim Air Force 1 ’07

As bold as the city that inspired her collection, Olivia updates the Air Force 1 with a volt and game royal colorway. Her references remain firmly 90s, adapting the 1996 ivory snakeskin swoosh design paired with the elevated feel of game royal corduroy. Olivias AF1 nods to the New York streets from which they were born, while unequivocally making a statement wherever they go.

Nike x Olivia Kim MOWABB

First released in 1991 as a running-hiking hybrid, Olivia pays homage to the original intention of the Mowabb as a transitional sneaker. Her reimagining reflects Olivia’s own contrarian approach to fashion, presenting a style that can take you anywhere. The teal and red colorway contrasts the brown and black upper to emphasize the footwear’s dual personalities.

Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

Presto-Flyknit-Blog-1

Originally released in 2000, the Nike Air Presto became famous for its irreverent advertising, alpha sizing and ahead-of-its-time sock-like construction. In the decade and a half since, the shoe has transcended performance running to become a sport style fixture. Now, 16 years after its introduction, Nike is updating the icon with new materials and technology. The result is the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit. The shoe’s signature one-to-one fit becomes even more profound through the use of Flyknit in the upper, which delivers stretch in the collar, ventilation in the toe and tongue, and support in the heel and underneath the toecap. In another first for the Presto franchise, the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit features a mid-cut collar, which lends a modern aesthetic. The TPU cage is reengineered to fit the Flyknit upper, while the ultra tooling with rubber in high contact wear areas delivers improved comfort and durability. Look for both mens and women’s colorways to release this Thursday, May 5th.
