Prepare to dominate the street with regal power—this is the Nike Free Hypervenom 2 OR, hand-painted by Erviola and exclusively released by SW3 London. Wrapped in a dazzling cracked-gold effect over a sleek black mesh body, this custom design blends sports innovation with high-fashion artistry.
Inspired by the opulence of Balmain’s creative flair and the technical lines of Nike Lab’s advanced performance silhouettes, this sneaker wears both identities with confidence. When Olivier Rousteing shook the design world, SW3 followed up with its own signature stamp—reinterpreting the Hypervenom 2 silhouette in a bold gold pattern that could just as easily walk a runway as it could rule the pavement.
The hand-painted upper features a cracked lava-like gold effect across the medial and lateral panels—meant to resemble golden stone fracturing under pressure, as if luxury itself was forged in fire. The black mesh backdrop absorbs light while the gold details reflect it—creating movement, contrast, and a sense of raw opulence.
The sneaker’s design highlights:
– **Gold-on-black cracked effect** hand-painted with layered depth and rich texture
– **SW3 signature finishes** adding identity and provenance to the design
– **Streamlined Free sole unit** ensuring maximum flexibility and street comfort
– **Gloss black swoosh and lace eyelets** completing the minimal-maximal balance
Nike’s Free Hypervenom 2 was engineered with freedom of motion in mind. The sole flexes naturally with your foot, while the bootie-like construction hugs the ankle in supportive fashion. It was built for agility, but here, Erviola gives it attitude.
The use of metallic gold paint is symbolic of both power and rebellion. It’s not a soft, shiny finish—it’s textured and almost primal, layered in sharp geometric forms that mimic animal scale and fractured stone. This is not just art—it’s statement. The entire sneaker becomes a piece of kinetic sculpture.
This limited edition is perfect for collectors, fashion-forward sneaker lovers, and anyone who knows that art belongs on your feet, not just gallery walls. Pair it with all-black to let the gold shine or mix it into luxe streetwear ensembles for maximum effect.
As with all SW3 custom drops, each pair is painted by hand—ensuring that no two designs are ever exactly alike. This gives the Hypervenom 2 OR that unmistakable “one-off” SW3 quality—wearable, rare, and unforgettable.
There’s no mistaking where this piece comes from. It’s SW3. It’s London. And it’s not here to play it safe.
One size. One shot. One golden legend—Nike Free Hypervenom 2 OR by Erviola.
