Artist and designer Anderson Bluu is back with another joint project with Diadora. While their previous collaboration centered around a wine theme, this time the two pay homage to the ice cream trucks of summertime NYC.
The “Ice Cream Truck” collection features two colorways of the Diadora N9002: Vanilla and Chocolate. The “Vanilla” pair comes with white suede uppers with blue and pink accents that represent sprinkles, while the “Chocolate” colorway comes decked out in brown hues. Both come with ice cream cone graphics on the insoles and a “Slow Crossing” ice cream truck sign hang tag.
“It’s not Summertime in New York City until you hear the jingle of the ice-cream truck coming down your block,” says Anderson Bluu. “I wanted to create a sneaker design that felt nostalgic for people of all ages.”
The Anderson Bluu x Diadora “Ice Cream Truck” collection drops on Thursday, August 25th exclusively via Champs and Foot Locker. Foot Locker NYC will also be hosting a special event on launch day at its Washington Heights location (605 W 181st St.), with complimentary ice cream from Mikey Likes It. Check out both colorways below.
