Lance Armstrong x Futura x Nike FC
In 2005, Nike and Lance started 10//2 which was a performance line of apparel and cycling gear. This shoe did not have any call out to the Livestrong name on the shoes, but did feature the 10//2 label. Artist Futura, Nike’s Mark Smith, and Lance Armstrong worked together for the graphics on the side of the shoe that represented a number of things important to Lance’s life and story of overcoming cancer.
This Nike FC was produced to the tune of only 500 and was released in July of 2005 at colette in Paris.
