H3: Sean Wotherspoon

We start with Don Sean Wotherspoon. One of the most famous sneaker designers and the creator of models like this version of the Adidas Gazelle

However, her rise to fame was not with Adidas, but with Nike, thanks to her collaboration on the Air Max 1/97. This model marked a before and after in the sector, becoming a major sales success of the time. Today, it is a worldwide reference. 

H3: Wales Bonner

Grace Wales Bonner is a designer born in Great Britain and is the person behind the renowned brand Wales Bonner. Thanks to her skill, she has managed to fuse haute couture with urban fashion. 

At Newcop we love it; a vivid example of their work are the Adidas Samba Nylon Wales Bonner Dark Brown, which stand out for their animal print style or the elegance of the model Fox BrownAs you can see, both examples stand out for their meticulously cared-for details.

H3: Tinker Hatfield

Tinker Hatfield is one of Nike's main designers and has been a key figure in creating revolutionary lines such as the Air Max and the Air Jordan

He has been able to combine innovation with design, as well as a good eye for understanding the market. That work helped the American brand break all existing sales records up to that point. 

H3: Travis Scott

Travis Scott, the famous rapper and music producer, is another of the most recognized names in the world of urban sneakers, where he has been famous for his work with Nike and Jordan. His connection to street culture makes each of his works capture its purest essence.

Creations like the Air Jordan 1 Low SP Travis Scott Black Phantom are an example of how simple sneakers can become authentic collector's items.

Surely the name of Virgil Abloh sounds familiar. Indeed, he is the founder of Off-White, but he is also the artistic director of Louis Vuitton, undoubtedly one of the most famous sneaker designers. 

He has collaborated countless times with Nike, becoming a true icon for urban fashion lovers. 

H3: Hiroshi Fujiwara

Japanese influential urban fashion owes a lot to Hiroshi Fujiwara, as he continues to be one of the major references in the Asian market. This designer has collaborated with numerous renowned brands, such as Nike.
