In the last few hours, Nike has released a video that seems to confirm the collection with Stranger Things. It's a few seconds that, in the style of an 80s advertisement (the same period in which the show is set), show the image of a truck of the company parked. Below there is a telephone number and a reference to a shipment that has been missing since 1985. Calling the number you hear an audio recording of two people talking about this missing Nike shipment that has now been located moving west. A man tells the woman that he needs to meet her in very specific coordinates on Wednesday, June 12. Where do the coordinates lead? At a location just east of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, an empty parking lot. Ready to participate in the scavenger hunt?
