Nike 6.0 x 3 Inches of Blood shoe

Nike 6.0 team up with legendary Vancouver metallers 3 Inches of Blood for The Blood Oncore High shoe.

The Blood Oncore aims to capture the essence of the Canadian quartet's sound in footwear form with "battle-worn leather, the muted greens of rot and pestilence, metallics inspired by mythic weaponry and, of course, the deep red of blood." There's also a cushioning 'Zoom Air Unit' and 'wing-like' high cuff to keep tech heads happy.

It's a savvy partnership. Metal is on the rise again and, for some reason, it seems to be totally en vogue on the slopes. Just check out the soundtrack to Grenade's Boned Age and Travis Rice's That's It That's All for some juicy Satan teasing tunes and you'll see what I mean.

Some might say the The Blood Oncore is over the top, kind of ugly and grimy as shit. But with the festival season unleashing carnage across the world as I type, they're perfect moshpit feet armoury - no matter what you think of the music.

    So not sure I could take wearing their name on my feet

  • "3 inches of blood is killer"

    No, they really are not. Far too angry.
