The collaboration between Nike and Stephane Ashpool tells an authentic story highlighting the love of basketball and some cherished Nike sneakers of the past. The first run of Pigalle x Nike featured the Air Force 1 as well as the Air Raid, a sneaker that the French-born designer often wore during outdoor pick-up basketball games. He’s selecting another regional favorite, the Nike Dunk, to express this crossover of 90s streetball and fashion, and the resultant product is a Dunk unlike anything ever created. Premium materials, a unique multi-layer aesthetic, and a cut-out at the heel elevate this classic Nike shoe to new heights, while the dotted upper, which represents a basketball shot clock, reminds us of the genuine basketball origin of this iconoclastic design. The Pigalle x Nike Dunk Lux is expected to release this Saturday, June 27th at NikeLab retailers worldwide, including Taiwan’s Invincible.
