NikeLab has partnered up with designer Riccardo Tisci once again for another take on the Dunk Lux High, crafting a mid-top silhouette, the new NikeLab Dunk Lux Chukka x RT.
The shoe, which comes in both black/white and red/white colorways, is specifically inspired by Tisci’s interest in the aesthetics of skate culture and retro ‘80s basketball.
“I think the Dunk has something that's very special. It's grounded in sport as well as in the street style culture," says Tisci. "For younger generations it can fit as many different styles tribes as you can imagine. I think it's one of the most iconic shoes that Nike has ever created.”
Exaggerated proportions carry over from the Dunk Lux High, including the big belly Swoosh and enlarged foxing and eyestay. The shoe also features a full-grain leather upper for durability, drop-in Lunarlon insole for ultra-soft cushioning and memory foam in the quilted leather collar and tongue for a secure and comfortable fit.
Additional attributes include removal of the toe perforations, rolled edges on the upper and the RT logo and Nike swoosh debossed on the heel.
The NikeLab Dunk Lux Chukka x RT will be available beginning Friday, February 10th at NikeLab at Bergdorf Goodman, NikeLab 21M, Dover Street Market New York, Kith BK and Concepts NYC.
The kicks will be available globally starting February 23rd at NikeLab retailers and on Nike.com/NikeLab.
