Several silhouettes have made their way from the basketball court to the feet of skateboarders throughout Nike’s history. Time-honoured shades of Varsity Red combine with neutral hits of black and white to complete this classic make-up. In a colour scheme made famous by a high-flying superstar who made his name in the Windy City, this release nods to that shared heritage by dressing up the Dunk Low. The crossover appeal is simple—skaters and basketball players look for kicks that possess many shared traits: optimal traction, adaptive comfort and minimal impact upon landing.
