Nike TN presents exclusive design together with Foot Locker: TN SHARK

Foot Locker Europe presents the latest exclusive Nike TN Shark, a trainer that pays homage to its ultimate inspiration, ‘the shark’. Although officially known as the ‘TN’, this sneaker has been called ‘the shark’ by sneakerheads for many years. From schools to the working world, its bold design has captivated sneakerheads, enhancing their style with every step.

With the intention of preserving the history of this silhouette, the TN Shark skilfully combines elements that have been successful in the past with modern touches. In an ocean blue hue, these shoes feature patterns reminiscent of the sun’s reflection on the surface of the water. Red details on the side swoosh and sole emphasise the ‘animal’ aesthetic of the shoes, while the laces combine black and red, symbolising the shark’s roots as a street predator.

To support the launch of the Nike TN Shark, Foot Locker has partnered with Jolagreen23, this year’s rising French rap artist, whose unique and creative style perfectly reflects the essence of the shoes. To celebrate this collaboration, Jolagreen23 took part in an amazing underwater photo shoot, diving into a pool to showcase the new trainers.

Through this creative process, Foot Locker brings the concept of ‘the shark’ to life, showcasing the trainer in its ‘natural element’. Produced by a team of French creatives, including multidisciplinary photographer Aylas, director and CGI specialist Nolann Blettner and the VANTA production team – this campaign aims to be immersive, with a refined visual aesthetic, reflecting the signature style of the rapper’s projects.

This latest addition to the iconic TN collection highlights the deep connection between Foot Locker and footwear. In fact, in recent years, the brand has released exclusive models to celebrate significant milestones, including a special edition for the TN’s 25th anniversary, a series of trainers inspired by European cities like Naples, and a commemorative pair for Foot Locker’s 50th anniversary this past September. From 7 November, the Nike TN Shark will be available across Europe.
