Back in October of last year, it was revealed that Nike’s Sportswear division was looking to the scenery and culture surrounding San Francisco’s Chinatown for its next inspirational inline collection. Having been introduced via a pink pastel gradient touching down across the Nike Air Force 1 Low, the youth haven’t been forgotten as the Nike Dunk High now dresses in a mix of honorary greens and golds.
Straying from its AF1’s clad-leather tooling, the Peter Moore design sets light grey suede overlays atop the crisp white, flat leather base layer for a disparate textured inclusion. Shifting its matching textured mid-foot Swoosh to a complimentary shade of sand, the accompanying heavily suede pull tabs work in tandem with the nylon sock liner to introduce a forest green contrast. While a luminous icy blue tread sits just below the “Sail” treated midsole, the heel pays homage to the city’s “Gold Mountain” nickname with an embossed metallic landscape featuring puffy white clouds mirroring the lotus flower affixed to the AF1 counterpart.
While we await news regarding the pair’s expected release date, in the meantime enjoy official images of the grade school-exclusive Nike Dunk High “San Francisco Chinatown” below.
