NIKE SB DUNK HIGH PRO 'OSKI' BLACK/WHITE-BLACK-SAIL

 

WITH A RECURRING SHARK MOTIF, THE COLLECTION LOOKS TO THE OCEAN’S APEX PREDATORS AS A REPRESENTATION OF MASTERING ANY SKILL - JUST LIKE ROZENBERG HAS REACHED THE PEAK OF PARK-STYLE SKATEBOARDING. “I’VE ALWAYS BEEN INTIMIDATED OF SHARKS,” SAYS OSKI. “THEY LOOK SO BRUTAL AND THEY MOVE SO SKILLFULLY THROUGH THE WATER. THEY ARE THE KINGS OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT IN MY EYES. ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMALS AND JUST REALLY ICONIC LOOKING. I FEEL LIKE IF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AS EFFORTLESS AS A [SHARK] CAN SWIM, YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT.”

 

FOOTWEAR IS FRONT AND CENTER HERE. THE SB DUNK HIGH TAKES ON A BOLD WHITE AND BLACK SHARK GRAPHIC IN PLACE OF ITS STANDARD MIDFOOT SWOOSH, BENT AT AN ANGLE THAT NODS TO THE ORIGINAL MARK’S FAMOUS CURVATURE. THE SHARK ALSO BOASTS BLOODY RED TEETH, A VISCERAL ACCENT THAT’S FURTHERED BY THE RED LACE TIPS AND RED “OSKI” HIT ON THE TONGUE. THESE BOLD EMBELLISHMENTS SIT ON TOP OF A STARK BLACK SUEDE BASE CONTRASTED BY A SAIL MIDSOLE.
