Matt Varga Back in August, we caught wind of the Air Force 1 “Nike Inc.,” seemingly formulated to tap into Bruce Kilgore’s original basketball intentions for the “Uptown.” Parallel to the AF1, the Nike Dunk has since surpassed its hardwood origins to become the lifestyle behemoth we know and love, but a matching colorway aims to return to the model’s roots.
The retro lean is accomplished comprehensively, spreading across the material choices and the palette, dominated by a smattering of primary colors. In truth, it’s formulated to match the insoles, wearing a vintage Nike, Inc. logo that showcases the original ABA ball, pasted atop two-tone vignettes of on-court action.
Helping to further those choices are the pop art Swooshes we allude to in the title, accomplishing a red-to-yellow gradient in the process. The design closes out with a dose of perforated leather on the base layer, helping the shoe, in sum, stand out from an always crowded slate of Dunk styles.
The Nike Dunk Low “Nike Inc.” is available now via Nike.com, retailing for $125 and up for grabs in men’s sizing. Hit the links under “Where To Buy” to grab yours.
