Transparency giving way to black, teased Casey Neistat. With a Sharpie and some determination, the ear (1) got a new outfit tailored to impress. Just look at it: the artisanal trickling to the case itself, half-painted, half-inquiring mind.
Not an official confirmation as of yet, Nothing is paying attention to its investor, asking the million-dollar question: “who thinks we should do this?”
Echoing the curiosity, do you think Nothing should release their signature ear (1) in Black? Perhaps as a Special Edition to celebrate the final stretch of 2021, perhaps testing the waters for a future when fading can be an act of two shades, transparently black.
And if there’s a new edition looming in the black shadows, do you expect it to be a fresh coat of paint or a proper Limited Edition with a different unboxing experience to match? To those of you who bought them already, how do you feel about it? To those of you who are still waiting, is this alleged variant an even more enticing proposition?
If true, it’s not the first time a company refreshes an SKU with a new color, something that’s tempting to manufacturers across the board. By doing so, not only is a company attempting a new round in the press, it’s also broadening and revitalizing their portfolio.
A transparent product is a revealing act as a black one is a decision in mysterious design - not to hide but to discreetly absorb and incorporate all colors. Black and white are a shock in balance, the dark side versus the light, the opposite sides teaming up to make you stop at the stark contrast
Casey and a Sharpie, trampoline to the extrapolation and speculation. It’s a palpable illustration of what can be achieved and now you have the floor. Take a good look at the possibility embedded below and please share your thoughts with the rest of the forums.
