Jovani Hernandez Throughout its 36-year-old history, the Nike Dunk High has done a lot. And while its most recent hot streak has included handfuls of colorways from the archives, it’s also included new propositions that’ve delivered refreshing ensembles to Peter Moore’s iconic design.
In addition to vibrantly-colored pairs under the “First Use” collection and a hybrid design with the Nike Blazer (courtesy of ACRONYM’s Errolson Hugh), the tall silhouette has appeared in an all-new acid wash-like makeup complete with yellowed leather and midsoles for an “aged” look. Rumored to be a joint-effort with UNDERCOVER, the sneaker forgoes any co-branding in favor of a set of greyscale overlays atop “worn-and-torn” bases that could be mistaken for an amateur “DIY” project. Swooshes on the tongue label indulge in a graffiti-like aesthetic, while outsoles abandon the patterns found on the shoe’s top-half, preferring a tonal dark grey arrangement.
Enjoy a early images of the upcoming high-top Nike Dunk ahead, and anticipate official Nike SNKRS release details as fall approaches.
Elsewhere under the NIKE, Inc. umbrella, the Air Jordan 3 “Racer Blue” arrives on July 10th.
