Ford’s new low-riding street truck includes a little bit of DNA from Nike basketball shoes

With neon stitching and splatter-paint seat coverings, Ford’s new truck draws on some unusual inspiration.

There’s a little bit of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James tucked inside the 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo, Ford’s first street-style truck in decades. The compact truck’s profile and body is styled after the low-riding trucks of the 1980s and ’90s, but its interior owes much more of its look to some of the biggest superstars of the NBA. Or at least to their shoes.
