Minneapolis-based skate shop, Familia, is the latest to join forces with Nike SB, following Primitive’s recent collaboration on the Nike SB Dunk Low.
This time utilizing the classic Dunk High, this Familia x Nike SB Dunk High Premium “Blue Ox” is a homage to the skate shop’s midwestern heritage, as the crew looked to reconnect with a beloved childhood folklore — Paul Bunyan and the spirit/strength of Babe, Bunyan’s trusted blue ox — which essentially defines this silhouette’s distinct colorway.
Constructed of suede and synthetic leather panels which mimics the swirling texture of Babe’s hide, a checkered flannel lining is a tribute to Paul Bunyan, while its respective theme is further encapsulated by an Ox horn Yellow swoosh and a custom embroidered emblem on the heel quarter.
