The Slim & Husky’s x Nike Terminator High Releases November 10

Nike, with a longstanding tradition of celebrating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), is rolling out a special pack of Terminators as a tribute to these esteemed institutions and their distinguished alumni, from Spelman College to Alabama A&M. This initiative shines brighter with a heartwarming collaboration with Nashville’s beloved pizza chain, Slim & Husky’s, founded by graduates of Tennessee State University (TSU).

The narrative is woven around the classic Terminator High, which transforms into a canvas portraying a heartfelt homage to TSU, encapsulating memories and pride of the Slim & Husky’s founders. The sneaker palette narrates the TSU tale with deliberate splashes of red and blue, while the animal print overlays add a bold statement, reminiscing the vigor of college days. The “1912” embroidery on the forefoot stands proud, marking the inception year of TSU, grounding the story in rich history.

Adding a personal touch, Slim & Husky’s brand essence is tastefully integrated into this commemorative design. Their logo finds a cozy spot on the insoles, whispering about the entrepreneurial journey of TSU alumni. The woven label elegantly carries the Slim & Husky’s name and a playful “GET GEEK’D” etched on the backside of the tongue, adding a dash of whimsy to the collaborative spirit.

The Slim & Husky’s x Nike Terminator High doesn’t just celebrate a university; it’s a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit, the heritage, and the boundless possibilities that education and collaboration nurture.

Enjoy an official look at the pair below, and expect these to arrive on Nike.com on November 10th for $150.
