COVERAGE
The lore behind the Dunk has traveled throughout a variety of circles from sneaker-heads to avant-garde aficionados. It’s a shoe that has remained effortlessly relevant in a time of fast-paced consumption. The Dunks popularity is undoubtedly correlated to the alleged cease and desist “Owenscorp” received from Nike in 2008. This iteration was among the first to be released. Rick stated that he designed the shoe to combat the prosaic nature of the readily available athletic shoes. He did so by integrating design motifs that directly referenced several popular footwear companies on the medial side of a gargantuan “monster truck”-esque silhouette.
