The above Dunk High Premium pays tribute to one of the most famous matches in boxing history and was at the time billed as the “Ultimate Glory” on June 7th, 1996 between Oscar De La Hoya and the reigning WBC Light Welterweight Champion Julio César Chávez. The red of the Dunk makes references to the amount of blood that De La Hoya drew out of Chávez’s left eye brow in round 1 which ultimately decided the victory as the referee stopped the flight during round 4 and awarded the the victory to De La Hoya. The upper features red elephant pattern, a special “Ultimate Glory” tongue tag, 2 and 0 embroidered on each shoe. They should hit retailers this coming week as some European retailers including Overkill already have them. Via Freshness

That fight and these kicks are FUCKING BULLSHIT! I remember watching that fight at my sisters house with my pops(R.I.P.), brother, brother in law, and a few family friends and that whole fight was bullshit, it was fucking rigged from the beginning since it was the Don King era. They stopped it even though by the 4th round he wasnt bleeding as much and he was still good to fight. It was all Don Kings greedy fucking fault that the greatest fighter in Boxing lost to a fucking punk bitch. Julio Ceasar Chavez is the fucking greatest and Oscar De La Hoyas cross dressing ass can eat a dick!!! NIKE fucked up yet again!
