Original Story (09/21/20): Nike and Slam Jam have teamed up to create two new iterations of the Dunk High.
An upside-down Nike logo appears on the tongue of the Nike Slam Jam Dunk. The modification reflects the Italian powerhouse’s subversive nature, something we saw more prominently on the Slam Jam Blazer Mid ’77 from 2019. The subversive tone of the upside-down Swoosh is reinforced by transparent, gummy Swooshes that touch at the heel in a unique branding element. Translucent soles tie naturally to the material makeup, and a playful reinterpretation of the Dunk’s traditional perforation adds a subtle new ingredient.
“This Dunk expresses the values of simplicity and the attention to innovative details, which alongside our rebel attitude, define the Slam Jam DNA,” says Benini of the design.
The Nike Dunk Slam Jam in light grey releases October 3 exclusively across Slam Jam doors, via raffle at slamjam.com and on SNKRS. The black colorway releases October 30 at select retailers worldwide. Check them both out below.
