Nike & Converse x Stranger Things: A Trip Back to Hawkins

With the final season of Stranger Things drawing closer, Nike and Converse have revived their partnership with Netflix to deliver a fresh collection inspired by the retro, supernatural world of Hawkins.

The capsule leans heavily into the show’s 1980s aesthetic, blending nostalgic design cues with the eerie tone fans know so well. From upside-down branding to distressed finishes, every piece nods to the series’ mythology in a way that feels considered rather than gimmicky.

A Closer Look at the Nike & Converse x Stranger Things collaboration…

The new line features a blend of iconic silhouettes reimagined through the lens of the Stranger Things universe. Nike’s contribution includes models such as the Dunk Low ‘Phantom’, which previously surfaced with an aged leather finish and subtle Upside Down detailing. The main December lineup introduces several standout pairs: an Air Max 1 dressed in deep burgundy reminiscent of Steve Harrington’s styling, a vividly coloured LD-1000 tied to Erica Sinclair, and a revived Field General High that merges vintage gridiron roots with show-themed elements.

Converse, meanwhile, brings its own storytelling spin through the Chuck 70, updated with worn-in canvas, Hawkins-themed graphics, and hidden references throughout the construction. The Converse Weapon Hi also joins the capsule, offering a clean, retro athletic look that fits naturally with the 1980s setting. Both brands extend the collaboration beyond footwear with a range of apparel, including hoodies, T-shirts, sweatpants, and an era-styled tracksuit. Converse is also offering a customisable “By You” option for fans who want to craft their own Stranger Things-inspired Chuck 70.
