Dunks and AF1s

Just because I say I steer clear of Dunks and AF1s doesn’t mean I don’t recognize good pairs that should be copped by other people. Although these pairs have been available for some weeks already, I decided to give these pairs some love.  First up is this Dunk High LE. At first glance, it is quite reminiscent of the uber rare Jordan 1 but up close, the blue is actually purple, or “wicked purple” as Nike would aptly call it.

We’ve been showered with Dunks over the past couple of years but this stands out for me. The colorway works (maybe perfect for the fashion trend). The materials used- ballistic nylon and tumbled leather- also comes together really well. There’s also a tinge of metallic gold on the tongue tag. The shoe’s simple, no frills, no crazy artwork. But it works. It works. I may not like Dunks anymore, but if it were down to this and something else, I don’t mind rocking an instant classic.

Aside from the Dunk, there’s also the AF1 07 with a black-white color block. The black/white combo will work with any wardrobe and should be on your regular rotation for weeks and months to come. The x-factor here would be the “black ice”. The classic is suited up with a translucent black gumsole dubbed as black ice and gives the shoe extra depth and character. So, what’re you waiting for? These are now available at Nike stores nationwide this summer.
