Nike Dunk High Premium Tweed

Back to basics. Now popular with skaters, basketball players, and the fashionable alike, the first ever production of the Nike Dunk shoe was in 1985. Before the Nike Air Jordan I, the Nike Dunk, which later influenced the Jordan I, was the team basketball shoe of choice. It was available in high and low versions in a variety of team colorways to match an uniform, and it came with a matching box and two sets of different color laces. The original Dunk is a highly sought-after collectors item and due to consumer demand, the Nike Dunk line was reissued in 1998 and numerous colorways have been made available on a regular basis since then. Nike released the skate Dunk in 1999 featuring a padded tongue and ankle collar. In 2002, they collaborated withe the Supreme Skate brand to produce the Supreme Dunks, and in 2004, Nike released the new, never-before-seen Nike Dunk Mid. Other special and limited editions include holiday models for Valentine's Day and Christmas, Laser Dunks that feature laser-engraved artwork, Harris Tweed Dunks with famous British tweed fabric, and The Inside Out Dunks. Technologically, the Nike Dunk line of shoes has the most basic of technologies, but its simplicity and wide variety of colors leaves this line of 80’s retro basketball shoes compatible with many styles and make them perfect for casual wear.

Tweed isn’t a new material to Nike, it has been seen on a number of shoes from Dunks to Air Maxes and now a new pair of premium Dunk High gets a touch of tweed along with a subtle orange and purple color-way. Nike tends to over do it with materials and this could have done with out the tweed and isn’t that great looking in the first place.

The Dunk High Premium Tweed has finally dropped, with likeness to the Dunk High SB Tweed this Dunk will surely satisfy the lust of those who missed out on the SB. Much of the back of the shoe is covered with Tweed and the front of the shoe is covered in suede. Dope colorway, look for it to sell out quickly.
