Alkaline Trio’s Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush
From the very beginning of action sports, punk music has always been blasting out the speakers. As the two have grown up together, they’ve only gotten closer. And now, Nike 6.0 is taking it one step further by hooking up with punk icons, Alkaline Trio.
The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush is the love-child of Alkaline Trio’s irrepressible creativity and Nike 6.0’s relentless pursuit of innovation.
“We chose red and black as the main colors to reflect our Chicago roots and pay homage to the Bulls. We are huge fans,” said Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. “I’m also into sneakers, so seeing the Swoosh and our logo on one product is unbelievable. The shoe looks amazing and provides some insight into who we are.”
The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush and a limited run of messenger bags will be released June 27th exclusively at Jacks Retail Shop in Huntington Beach. Alkaline Trio recently kicked off their summer tour in support of their new album “Agony and Irony” and the release of the shoe. The Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush will be available at select retailers nationwide on July 11th.
The shoe pops with custom reflective details and bike-tread inspired graphics, which symbolize the band’s early days in Chicago where they worked as bike messengers. The Heart and Sole Cush is also constructed of all synthetics, which was of utmost importance to the vegetarian members of the band.
When the Heart and Sole Air Zoom Cush drops, the Alkaline Trio will be in the midst of a summer headlining tour in support of their highly anticipated new album “Agony & Irony,” in stores July 1st. Check out their MySpace page for the entire tour schedule.
For sick punk rock steez, do yourself a favor and put a little Heart and Sole in your wardrobe.

How does one go about getting a pair of these if one happens to be living in Stockholm, Sweden? I really want a pair since Rage Against The Machine live destroyed my regular kicks and I don’t see how it is possible. Help, por favor Nike?

[...] The action sports 6.0 collection from Nike has looked to punk band Alkaline Trio to embody the brand’s spirit in this latest Air Zoom Cush collaboration titled “Heart and Soul”. The stylings of the new Dunk-esque Cush relate to the band’s history through the use of unique details and materials. Among the highlights are the Chicago Bulls inspired black/red colorway, in homage to Alkaline Trio’s Chicago roots. Furthermore, reflective accents and bike-tread graphics are a tribute to Alkaline Trio and their meeting as respective bike messengers. The all synthetic upper was chosen to reflect the vegetarian nature of each band member. In the midst of a tour to support their latest album, Agony and Irony, the shoes will see their initial release with a messenger bag at Jacks Retail Shop (Huntington Beach) on June 27th, with a nationwide rollout on July 11th.

Hey I’m in the UK, am I gonna have to order this off the internet or will there be anyone in the UK putting them out?
They’re proper tasty shoes like, I seriously want some.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Nice pickup. One of the best and most credible bands out there. The feedback of the collab has been positive (surprising for some).
I think this will give the greenlight for other established bands to sign up.
June 20th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Alkaline Trio means the world to a lot of people (me included.) They have reached many around the world. If they want to help make a shoe, more power to them. I love Alkaline Trio, and, as soon as possible, I will rock this shoe with honor. Over and Out.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Hey

June 20th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
i want that shoes. how can i get it in Indonesia ?? when will these shoes sell in Nike Indonesia?
June 22nd, 2008 at 7:46 am
There is no info on how to get hold of these shoes in the UK. If anyone from Nike reads this you have to let people know when/where/how they can get these in the UK, and elsewhere in Europe. In fact anywehre other than the US!!!
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
i’ll be at there gig in norfolk VA on the 16th of julyi’m from the uk and i wish to buy these wicked shoes. will they be avalable?
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Sweet Shoes!
June 27th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Hi, I know there have already been several messages about how to get these in the UK but I still can’t find any info on it.
I really don’t want to have to order them from the US (I’m not even sure if I can) as I will have to pay a lot on import tax etc. Also I would like to try shoes on before I buy them so I know I get the right size.
There will be a lot of people in the UK wanting these shoes (they are amazing - fantastic job) so please let us know where we can get them. Perhaps send some out to shoe shops in the big cities (london, manchester etc. especially Manchester as that’s where I am)
Come on Nike!! The Europeans are loving these shoes, let us know how we can get them please!!!!
June 28th, 2008 at 11:13 am
The shop I go to said these are going to be hard to find so don’t expect online sales. In NorCal I know Ground Zero in Roseville will have these. Not sure if they can sell and ship, though. They’re supposed to jump mid July.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

July 1st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
They dropped today at Ground Zero Boardshop in Roseville, CA. They look even better in person. It’s a Dunk silhouette with a different sole. It’s crazy light and the upper is all vegan friendly synthetic.
