No one can know the real name of Str4ngeThing other than his immediate circle. He writes that it’s a top secret along with his location. It’s safe to say that he exists in the digital world, creating online art through his newfound tech power. He names his art collection ‘WR0ng ER4’, an anthology of what Nike clothing existing in the past based on the conspiracy of the Mandela effect, or false memory.

High fashion in the renaissance era

Str4ngeThing captures the attention of the viewers as he tries to twist the established fates and chucks Nike and its clothing staples lightyears before today to reinstate that perhaps these items have always been a part of one’s culture throughout the ages, but only today that people notice them through his renaissance masterpieces. Call it deja vu or an I’ve-seen-this-before moment, the artist and creator is ready to toy with everyone’s perception.

From oversized hoodies and sweatpants to robes that look like a cardinal or pope could wear them, the outfits mimic streetwear that halts people in their steps. Bright orange, lush maroon, and rich green compose the palette that the artist and creator has picked, and adding the signature check of Nike is a cherry on top. Wearing these Nike AI art outfits while strolling in the street might stop content creators, shove their mini microphone to the wearer’s face, and ask them all random questions possible, either related to the outfit or what trends they want to splat or hop on.
