Franklin “Frank Nitty” Session is bringing Dead Serene into the Nike lineup with his own take on the ST Charge. The collaboration connects his streetwear label with a performance model that already lines up closely with his outdoor basketball background.

The Dead Serene x Nike ST Charge starts with a bright blue mesh upper that darkens around the edges. Violet TPU wraps the lower half of the shoe and continues across the heavily textured sole, finished with scattered blue speckles. Chrome lace hardware and metallic Swooshes add a sharper contrast without taking over the design.

Branding is spread across the pair in several forms. Dead Serene appears on one tongue, while Frank Nitty’s initials land on the other. Behind the tongues is a cartoon version of Session wearing Nike gear, a graphic also used for the removable keychain included with the shoes.

Several lace options come with the release, including black, light blue, and violet sets. Some carry repeating graphics, giving wearers a few different ways to change the look. More Dead Serene lettering sits beneath the translucent outsoles, with mismatched typography visible from below.

The insoles carry the phrase, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” It is one of the quieter details, but it fits the mood and identity Session has built around Dead Serene.

There is a clear reason Session was paired with this model. The four-time Drew League MVP made his name on outdoor courts, while Nike developed the ST Charge around its “Street Tough” concept. The collaboration feels connected to how he actually plays rather than simply attaching his name to a new silhouette.

The Dead Serene x Nike ST Charge is expected to release soon through Nike SNKRS. Men’s sizing will be available for $150.
