This latest Nike SB collaboration has them teaming up with Magnus Walker (British former fashion designer and car collector) to release a Nike SB Dunk High inspired by his favorite car in his collection, the 1971 Porsche 911 T 277. The collaboration also includes skateboarder, Ishod Wair. Let us explain how he ties into all of this.
“Ishod Wair is celebrated for his ability to make magic happen on a skate deck—but away from the park, he passionately supports a different form of four-wheeled transportation. In commemoration of Ishod’s longtime love of cars, this special-edition Dunk sees Wair join forces with another friend of the brand, fellow L.A. auto enthusiast Magnus Walker.
The shoe’s graphics and hues mimic a German sports car made famous in Walker’s “Urban Outlaw” film. The leather upper wears away over time to reveal a layer of gold—the original color of the design’s muse. Embroidery on the heel and tongue depicts the Union Jack flag, with accompanying tartan plaid lining the inside of each shoe. Finally, racing-inspired visuals sit on the lateral heel, sockliner, quarter panels and midsole, ensuring this style makes a statement even when flying by at high speeds.”
