Nike Dunk High SW "Un-Gucci"







Release: Fall 2009

$120 Size 8

Nike Sportswear has partnered with Record producer DJ Clark Kent and Undefected’s founder Eddie Cruz, challenging East and West to create their own Nike Sportswear footwear. The result is a collection that delves deep into the psyche of sport and present Rivalry as its essence. In this tempestuous collaboration, DJ Clark Kent and Eddie Cruz use Nike Sportwear’s iconic designs and innovative materials and remix them. The pair draws on classic collegiate layouts; adding their own trademark directional flavour. No doubt the green/red colorway reminds us the Gucci Dunk SB, however they are not the same. The upper of the DJ Clark Kent “Un-Gucci” Dunk features a green base with black ostrich leather surrounded. In addition, a challenge red croc skin swoosh. The gum outsole is made of 0.44 sticky rubber for better performance under bad condition.
