Nike has released a pair of trainers patterned with the Johnston100 typeface ? the font used by Transport for London.
The Nike Zoom Spiridons, which were first released in 1997, are inspired by the 90s garage rave fashion scene. This iteration repurposes the century-old font as a bold pattern.

The shoes are available in two colours, white and navy, with the upper featuring the Johnston100 font characters and numbers.
The Swoosh is applied in silver, while the iconic Transport for London (TfL) roundel is embroidered on the tongue of each pair.

A transparent mesh covers a section of the print on the shoe's vamp, and reflective 3M taping is used around the seams and eyelets.

"We simply wanted to share the font in its basic format, applying a clean alphabetical depiction on the shoe," he added. "We didn't want to disrupt the much-loved design of the Spiridon or well-known look of the Johnston font."
The Nike Zoom Spiridons are the second release from the Nike x Roundel collection. In 2013, Nike used the roundel on a pair of Air Max models to celebrate of the 150th anniversary of the London Underground.
