Bring streetwise colour to your stitching with this Nike-inspired design, where the block NIKE lettering wraps around a crowned skull character. The heart-shaped sunglasses, rounded black afro, crossbones halo and small green feather give it a playful Day of the Dead feel without losing the strong graphic shape of the swoosh. It suits makers sewing for trainer fans, streetwear customisers and anyone who likes their embroidery with a bit more personality than a plain logo.
With 7 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to look rich while still reading cleanly from a distance. It would sit especially well on the back of a denim jacket, the front of a black hoodie, a canvas tote or the leg of joggers, where the white, yellow, green and purple can stand out against darker fabric. Because the design has solid cartoon styling and clear outlines, it works best on sturdy fabrics that can support the fuller stitched areas and keep the lettering crisp.
