NikeLab Dunk Lux High x RT
341Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci and Nike have come together once again to bring us another collaboration utilizing one of Nike’s classic silhouettes.
Back in 2014 we saw the two link up to bring us the Riccardo Tisco x Nike Air Force 1 in a few different cuts and colorways. Now Tissci’s love of basketball is being expressed through the NikeLab Dunk Lux High.
“THE NIKE DUNK HAS A FASCINATING LEGACY,” TISCI SAYS. “IT HAS BEEN BOTH MAINSTREAM AND NICHE, ADOPTED BY COMMUNITIES OF VARYING SIZE AND INFLUENCE. BUT NO MATTER THE MODEL, THE DUNK HAS ALWAYS HAD A CULTURAL CACHET THAT, AS A DESIGNER, I’M QUITE DRAWN TO.”
The fancied up version of the Dunk Lux High features new characteristics that were re-imagined by Tisci such as extended height, a big belly Swoosh, an enlarged foxing and eyestay, and an upside-down back tab placed directly above the Riccardo Tisci logo on the heel.
As far as performance goes, the shoe 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.
The NikeLab Dunk Lux High x RT will be available beginning February 11, exclusively in North America at NikeLab retailers and on nike.com/nikelab.
