The Nike Air Yeezy

2009-03-30T21:30:00.001-04:00

THE NIKE AIR YEEZY
Nike Sportswear and Grammy award winning recording artist Kanye West present the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy sneaker in Spring 2009.

The shoe, which takes West’s nickname Yeezy, draws upon the innovations from Nike’s rich sporting history and fuses them with original lines, materials, and design elements that reflect West’s unique style.

The Air Yeezy was developed from a strong relationship between West and Nike. Partnering with Nike Creative Director, Mark Smith, Kanye was taken through the product creation process, the same way athletes have with Nike Design for the past 37 years. This creative partnership of Smith and West’s talents as designers yielded a unique Nike Sportswear sneaker worth the wait. “Kanye is a truly creative talent,” said Smith. “He’s a natural designer—partnerships like this always enhance the creative experience and the end product.” West agrees that the partnership with Nike has been exciting. “Nike is such an important brand to me,” said West. “Whether you are on the court, in the street, in the club, at school, Nike represents excellence, the standard in design. Growing up, we looked forward to the release of new Nike’s the way we would an album by our favorite artist. So the opportunity to collaborate on a design with Mark Smith and Nike Design has been a dream come true, and a great experience.”

From the start, West and Nike’s shared vision was clear: to create a modern classic. An original Nike footwear style, that reflects elements of Nike’s sporting past, and remixes them with Nike innovation to deliver a unique shoe.

The creative process of the Air Yeezy began with the discussion around ideas and inspirations. The shoe began to take shape through a series of drawings and samples, each pulling inspiration and reference from some of Nike’s iconic innovations and rich design history, across both Basketball and Sportswear styles.

A careful balance was sought, each time new elements were added, with existing elements being taken away - a design process Smith refers to as “reductionism”. “Nike shoes need to function and always be innovative,” said Smith. “So the first thing we did was to make sure the design process that Kanye and Nike Design went through, mirrored that of our athletes.” “I’ve been designing Nike’s in my sketch pad since the fourth grade,” said West. “So to say I’ve been prepared for this would be an understatement. The really fun and challenging part for me was learning about Nike’s design process, learning more about fabrics and functions and colorways, and all of the details that go into designing a shoe of this quality.”

Following the fabled tradition of Nike’s design process, West and Smith went through a series of one-on-one design sessions. At Nike the ultimate test is one of performance, where the design meets the athlete’s movements. “Kanye could wear and perform in these shoes and really identify how we could make the shoes perform better.” Supplanting center court with center stage, West provided critical feedback on how the shoe performed throughout the course of his 2-3 hour performance sets, where the first prototypes of the Nike Air Yeezy were seen outside of Nike’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, OR.

THE NIKE AIR YEEZY: NEW SCHOOL OF COMFORT.

Born from Kanye West’s creative passion, built with Nike design and performance innovation, The Air Yeezy was fine-tuned on stages around the globe, challenging convention by remixing the past to create something uniquely new, as only Nike Sportswear can.

West is known for his non-stop energy both on the stage and off so the Air Yeezy had to support and sustain West from start to finish. An almost obsessive focus was put on delivering supreme comfort throughout the development of the shoe. Equipped with debossed ankle collar pods for added support and protection, extra-thick sock liners, a forefoot support strap, original functional tension lace loops, and Phylon tooling taken from the 1987 Nike Air Assault for added performance and comfort—all developed and integrated with one goal in mind: to keep Kanye on lock down in cushioned comfort during his performances during his many notoriously strenuous artistic live performances.

These performance attributes have been meticulously wrapped in premium full grain leather uppers and adorned with original design details that are uniquely Kanye and identifiably Nike. The remastered Nike Air Assault outsole is treated to glow-in-the-dark properties and will illuminate when the light is low. The forefoot support strap is premium grade patent leather and is of no-stitch construction. Clean seams are used throughout except for a premium suede toe wrap feature with visible stitch detail. Emblazoned across the Air Yeezy is an exclusive “Y” repeat pattern, as either a debossed or lasered detail, which takes inspiration from the Jordan brands iconic Elephant print material. This graphic treatment was developed by West and Smith to pay tribute not only to the name of the shoe and it’s co-creator, but also to the various moments in history that spurred West’s initial inspiration for the Nike Air Yeezy.

Limited pairs of the Nike Air Yeezy are set to be released on Saturday, April 4, 2009, 7:00pm exclusively at Bunker, Unit 5 Karport Building, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. For a sneak peek and to find out how to purchase a pair, visit Embassy Cuisine on Friday, April 3 at 8:00pm.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR UNVEILS
SPECIALLY CRAFTED WINDRUNNERS IN METALLIC COLOURS

Rooted in sports, this season’s Nike Windrunner collection takes on a new twist for consumers who are looking for self-expression and unlimited creativity.

Manila, Philippines. October 31, 2008 – Gold and Silver reign as the key colors featured in the Holiday 08 season of Nike Windrunners. One of 8 icons within Nike Sportswear collection, this iconic apparel is rooted in Nike’s passion for sport while re-mastered and further improved for this season. Playing up the ‘Bling’ factor for the collection, each metallic hue is paired up with 12 pop shades to create unique combinations that cater to style-savvy consumers that wish to express their individualism through their selection.

“This season’s Nike Windrunner metallic collection is all about anchoring the style in the heritage of sports and having fun with colors. By bringing in limited quantities will serve to elevate this iconic product within the Nike Sportswear range while catering to our discerning consumers who can appreciate quality craftsmanship to suit their taste,” said Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager Mae Dichupa.

The Windrunner is Nike’s most recognizable piece of apparel. Designed as a running jacket, its nylon construction meant lightweight wear. But the Windrunner quickly transcended its athletic identity thanks to early hip-hop culture, which made it its own. Re-mastered for today, the lightweight shell is even lighter, built from super-breathable nylon and equipped with an updated hood that forgoes a hood adjuster for a clean finish.

Retailing each at P2,995, the collection will be made available for a limited time at Nike Park The Fort & Trinoma and Nike Stadium Greenbelt 5 from 31st October onwards. For more information, please visit: www.nikesportswear.com.

Windrunner: The ‘Cape Suit’ History
The iconic Windrunner with its signature 26° angle chest chevron and myriad color ways and versions. Popular culture, athletes of all stripes and online auction aficionados have all fallen under its powerful spell. Here then, is its potted history…

The Windrunner
The 26-degree chevron gives it away: you’ve seen it before. The ultimate running jacket, the Windrunner became the face of Nike apparel at a time when Nike was known for its footwear. The ’84 games offered the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how technologically advanced sporting equipment enhanced performance from head to toe; with 58 Nike supported athletes taking home 65 medals.

The Man Behind the Windrunner
A native of Eugene, Oregon, Geoff Hollister loved two things: art and the steeplechase. When it came time for college, it was only natural for him to attend the University of Oregon, just down the street, and to run for its legendary track coach Bill Bowerman. At Oregon, Geoff pursued a degree in fine arts while serving as a guinea pig for Bowerman’s footwear experiments.

In 1967, as a junior, Geoff began working with Oregon alum Philip Knight, who had recently started a business with Bowerman importing Japanese-made Onitsuka Tiger running shoes. Selling shoes allowed Geoff to earn extra cash for school and to buy himself a Studebaker Avanti, from which he would sell shoes when he drove to regional track meets on the weekends.

After graduating in 1968, Geoff served as a navigator in the navy during the Vietnam War, remaining in touch with Bowerman and Knight all the while. Upon his discharge, Geoff returned to work for them; by that time their company, then called Blue Ribbon Sports, was producing its own shoes. Geoff jumped right in, using his skills in art to create all manner of promotional materials for the fast-approaching Olympic trials in Eugene.

Apparel Designer and Athlete Liaison
Geoff took over Steve “Pre” Prefontaine’s unofficial role as Nike’s athlete relations representative after Pre’s untimely death in 1975. The title positioned him as both apparel designer and athlete liaison. While at times marketing and product development may seem at odds with each other, at Nike it wasn’t strange at all for Geoff to meet with an athlete, talk over his specific product needs, and hook him up with new training products. Geoff would then work this information back into the various prototypes Nike was developing.

In the spring of 1978, Geoff set out to create new training products for his Nike-sponsored runners. Hollister's primary goal was to create apparel to protect against the windy and soggy climate of the Pacific Northwest during winter training season. He recalled his study of the Pacific Coast Native Americans from one of his favorite classes, Native American History. He had been impressed by images of the woven cedar-bark capes that the Native Americans wore during the soggy Pacific Northwest winters to shield them from the rain and wind.

26°
Drawing inspiration from this evocative image, Geoff split the material of his new nylon jacket on the horizontal plane of the wearer’s shoulders; the two sides met in a distinctive 26-degree point on the chest. Hollister enhanced the division of the two fabrics with a bold colorblock that met in a distinctive chevron point on the chest. He equipped the upper with a microthin coating of water-repellent polyurethane, and the lower with vented insets to provide breathability as the athletes went through their warm-ups.

The ‘Cape Suit’
At some point after he drew the distinctive style line, Geoff probably noticed the striking superhero-like figure that the Windrunner cut on those who wore it. The look must have steeled the athletes’ confidence as they took to the field.

The 26° chevron with the different colors effectively created a “superhero” look for whoever wore it. The garment quickly gained favor with serious runners and in 1980 it assumed its place in history as the first piece of Nike apparel to be worn by athletes at the U.S. Track & Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon.

From Trackwear to Everyday Wear
Though Hollister would forever refer to his design as the ‘Cape Suit’, the “Windrunner” was officially named in the 1982 apparel catalogue. The Windrunner was later appropriated from the track to the street, earning infamy as a B-boy and street culture icon. Truly a case study of form following function and culture following athletics, the Windrunner design has endured for over 25 years.

NiKE Sportswear Launch Recap

2008-08-22T07:52:00.001-04:00

When ballers, rockers, and oglers from all corners collide, you know it’s bound to be interesting. Toss in this allegedly gigantic company called Nike, hang back, and watch the awesomeness ensue. And whad’ya know? That exact thing came to pass on the night of August 21st, when a quiet corner of Gateway Mall, Cubao manned up into Nike’s very own special retail installation and gig space.

The star of the show was clearly the Nike Sportswear 2008 collection. Simply put, those are remastered versions of 8 of its most iconic designs: Air Max 90, Air Force One, AW 77, Dunk, Sportswear Tee, Cortez, Eugene Track Jacket and Windrunner.

“Nike takes pride in being a brand that’s deeply rooted in sports. By remastering the Nike Sportswear 2008 line, we’re focusing on blending our sports heritage with new design innovation for consumers,” said Mae Dichupa, Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager. Teamed with videos of the brand’s line-up of transnational superathletes, the exhibit became more than sneaker eye candy. It was pure Nike porn.

To amuse the mob that came in the name of sneakerdom, Kjwan dedicated an unacoustic acoustic set to the Swoosh. They’re the first in a dizzying cast of Pinoy bands scheduled to dominate the area all month long.

So it all boils down to location, location, location. “What better way to launch this line than with an installation here in Cubao? We’re where Filipino sporting history continues to be made, from boxing to the UAAP Season 71,” adds Mae. Well, no surprise there since you can always count on Nike to be where the epicness is.

Rivermaya performs at the Nike special retail installation at the 4th Floor, Gateway Mall, Cubao on Aug. 28, 2008. For updates, log on to www.nikesporstwear.com

Nike Sportswear 2008: Rooted in sports, remastered for life.

2008-08-18T23:02:00.002-04:00

With almost four decades of sport history at its foundation, Nike Sportswear seeks to channel the genuine rebel spirit of Nike’s roots by crafting product that challenges the expected, asking designers to push athletic innovation to its extreme, remixing iconic designs with new technologies and making the best product for today’s needs.

The Nike Sportswear Collection, which carries eight Nike design icons, the Air Force 1, the Windrunner, AW 77 Hoody, the Nike Dunk, Air Max 90, Eugene Track Jacket, the Cortez and the Nike Sportswear Tee, have enjoyed “hardcore street credibility” since they launched, generating followers and aficionados all over the globe.

The 2008 Nike Sportswear Collection is available in the Philippines this month and to launch this, a special Nike retail installation store will be staged in Gateway Mall, Cubao where consumers can get up close and personal with the products and the Nike Sportswear experience.

To officially open the space KJWAN will perform LIVE on AUGUST 21, 2008 at 8 PM at the special Nike retail installation store located at the 4th floor of Gateway Mall, Cubao – ADMISSION IS FREE!

The special Nike retail installation will be up from August 21, 2008 until September 7, 2008. Other bands such as SANDWICH and ang banda ng bayan RIVERMAYA will also be performing on select dates at the space. For more information and updates on performance schedules and activities that will take place at the Nike special retail installation, log on to www.nikesportswear.com.

DJ Neil Armstrong Live in Manila Sat. Aug. 9 @ ALCHEMY

2008-08-07T09:32:00.005-04:00

(click flyer to enlarge)

Acknowledged as the founding father of the DJ Collective .5th Platoon., Neil Armstrong is known as a purveyor of good music, dropping gourmet goods for mixtape aficionados, music connoisseurs and party people throughout the world.

Born and Breed in NYC, He cut his teeth in the early 90.s honing his skills in the realm of turntablism, the sect of DJing where proficiency in kutting, scratchin, and beatjuggling define status. His time spent in the trenches battling and mastering the art form allowed him to rock shows alongside artists across the Hip Hop Spectrum - from De La Soul, The Roots, Company Flow and Biz Markie, to Kanye West, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean.

As a member of the critically acclaimed 2 time Grammy award nominated jazz band - "Russell Gunn and Ethnomusicology", he further explored the idea of using a turntable as an instrument. His stint with the band brought him around the globe to places like the North Sea Jazz Festival in Den Hague, Netherlands . one of the largest music gatherings in the world, and gave him the opportunity to play alongside true musicians like Kenny Garrett (a member of Miles Davis' band) and Branford Marsalis.

Over the last 7 years, he has made a mark in the subgenre of Hip Hop known as the Mixtape Culture. To these mixtape projects Neil always brings his experience - from his eclectic music tastes, to the ideas of artistic integrity - and he has gained notoriety for smoothness, creativity and originality by making products that hinge entirely on the ideals of good music and skills. This is what separates his mixtapes from the rest of the pack.

Everyone from the hipster set to the industry heavyweights have taken notice. He made Rolling Stone's "Top 10" Mixtape DJ's of 2005 list, was recognized by Vibe Magazine as one of the next DJ's "on deck" to watch out for, had his cd's featured on MTV.com's Holiday Essentials Feature, and gained honorable mentions in Mixunit.com's Power 30 List of "The most influential players in the mixtape game". In 2007, he received a SEA Mixtape Award for the .best Old School R&B. Category.

His personal style has brought him to a larger stage, as established entities in various industries of entertainment have tapped him to do his thing on the 1's and 2's - to set the mood and control the atmosphere through that universal language: music. He has proven to be prolific at doing just that, whether he is rocking a club in Miami for the upper echelon model set, getting NBA Players amped to do their hoop thing, killing the dance floor at a lounge in San Fransisco, making people move across the world at a Shanghai nightclub, or rocking a small loft party in the Lower East Side for Kangol.

In 2007, recognition for his skills culminated with the announcement of a sneaker collaboration between his crew and Adidas for their B-BALL EQUIPMENT REMIX Project, the same company that pioneered the Hip Hop Artist Collaboration years before with another DJ . Run DMC.s Jam Master Jay.

Almost 10 years later, the mixtape projects that he created are still sought after and revered. This a testament to what Neil brings to the plate, as longevity is one of the things that cannot faked or bought, and something that few in this world of disposable DJ's have. The proof is in the pudding: the best word to describe Neil Armstrong is Classic.

Always EXPRESS YO DELF!

2008-03-28T04:14:00.000-04:00

March 16, 2008 - Top Shelf, Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street:
A gathering of what was arguably a group Manila's most innovative and street savvy individuals, in an event that bookmarked our island city on the global "Yo, they know what's up" map; 'Express Yo Delf', a tribute event that aimed to highlight young Filipino talent, and give the city's scenesters an opportunity to show their true artistic colors, saw an incomparable hub of creativity and energy mounted with resounding success.

A brainchild and pet project of Tollo Bote and Steak Productions' Sarah Meier, Banjo Albano, and Chris Aldaba, 'Express Yo Delf' was whipped up out of "pure passion and belief in what our country's youth have to offer, in terms of music, art, film, and fashion". "About 90% of the media and guests invited had no clue what the concept was until they got there, and they were very pleased with the great concept and collaboration done by Steak Productions, Tollo Bote, the artists, musicians, and designers", cites a guest ""Everyone loved and enjoyed the Sunday vibe, complete with barbecue and flowing booze, because it was something new for Manila".

"It was an important project for everyone involved, but unsurprisingly stress-free. When you have all the right pieces to the puzzle, things have a tendency to flow without a hitch", says Sarah Meier, the CEO of Steak's Creative Agency division. "We had art in almost all its forms represented - jewelry, clothing, furniture, and toy design. Visual artists doing live pieces. Percussionists, DJ's, break dancers. On top of that, when you have support from brands that are relevant to your project, there's really no way you can go wrong. Talking to Lee, to West, to Bacardi, to Sea Air, to MTV - these are companies that understand what's happening in the scene. And it's our job and mission at Steak to marry these companies with the talents that inspire trends and change in our industry. Keeping artists from starving, and keeping our clients current - that's what we like to say", Sarah adds with a smile.

Tollo Bote, who hand-picked the event's first batch of participants, expressed contentment from doing justice to his vision; "It was very satisfying and fullfiling for my first comeback event since being inactive for awhile and see this - turntablists, percussionists, and drummers to jam unrehearsed and no direction! It's an honor to have artists like Movement 69 and OttoRetardo do live art, and clearly see that it was inspired from the live music. And of course, it's good to have designers in one event and let everyone know what's up and what's next".

Participants in the first installment of 'Express Yo Delf' boasted of the +63-2's Urban Elite; Get Happy by Happy David, Die Marie by Christina Bartges, Filthy Grommet, Mich Dulce, Fresh, Mr. Marcus of Move, Jhoon of Kjwan, Red-i, John Type, Latin Soul Brother, PG of Pasta Groove, Funk Roots Crew, Movement 69/Pilipinas Street Plan, OttoRetardo, and representing Cebu, furniture designer extraordinaire, Vito Selma.

"Vito shipped his furniture to Manila just for our event. We're thinking about making it easier for him next time, and just flying the rest of the group over to Cebu for the next EYD edition! After that, watch out for a whole new batch of talent". So until then, let's applaud the first successful 'EXPRESS YO DELF' - A PUSH FOR MANILA'S VERY OWN MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, CULTURE, FASHION, AND ART.

EXPRESS YO DELF featuring FILTHY GROMMET

2008-03-13T21:50:00.002-04:00

"This company was started in 2006 as a hobby of customizing clothes for personal use. It surfaced from the continuous hunt for individuality and distinctiveness in fashion. As the clothes were exposed to the public, there were requests of producing pieces for friends and family. Thus, Filthy Grommet was born.

Filthy Grommet is owned by two people, Emil Perez and Gio Bote. The name centers upon the word "Grommet" which is a slang word used by skateboarders and surfboarders implying an "Excellent Rookie". We view ourselves as young individuals who shell out raw and fresh ideas influenced by our environment and our lifestyle. The experience of the hustle and bustle of the streets of manila and our world views are what emanates and translates into our pieces of clothing. We are a clothing line inspired by street culture, carrying graphic t-shirts and specializing in the customization of jeans and hoodies. Filthy Grommet steps away from the mainstream trends and creates their own wave of movement through fashion and style."

EXPRESS YO DELF featuring Get Happy

2008-03-11T02:25:00.003-04:00

Designing accessories for a living never really crossed Happy's mind. It was more of a hobby, putting together beads and styling them the way she could never find them to be at any of the local retail stores. In the beginning, she only gave them away, mostly to friends who all went crazy over the hip styles. Inevitably, someone big like Ben Chan took notice and, without planning anything, Happy soon found herself supplying to the Human chain of stores. The funny thing about stumbling blocks is they come with perfect timing. Happy also soon developed an allergy to beads, only to discover, thank God, that the allergy was to dust rather than to beads, which allowed her to resume her "hobby" of designing accessories. Officially named "Get Happy," the hobby immediately gave her a place in the world of style.

The "Get Happy" store was originally a transparent box Happy would lug around to show and sell her pieces to friends and family. Today, you see Happy David's name splashed everywhere, her designs accessorizing models and personalities in all the fashion magazines and being sold in exclusive boutiques and department stores! Her unmistakable touch of "Happy" gives her designs the flexibility and versatility that appeals to the young, fun, and whimsical customer, as well as to the more mature, urbane sophisticates. What remains consistent is the happy feeling one gets when wearing her designs (especially apparent to our models who wore them for this shoot!).

BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL: THE NIKE DUNK 2008

2008-01-29T10:12:00.000-05:00

BE TRUE
The Nike design philosophy has always been to build a better shoe for sports, and to let style follow function. Twenty-three years ago, a basketball hi-top emerged from this ethos that became an icon of boldness, both on the court and off—the Nike Dunk. True to the colors of the college teams it was built for, Dunk’s simple, high-contrast colorways evolved into a statement of true rebellion when skaters made them their own.

Fundamentally, being true is being authentic. And the building blocks of authenticity are discovered through witnessable action. In the fall of 1985, that witnessable action came in the form of eight college basketball teams that laced up footwear created not only to help them dunk on opponents, but also to flash authentic, audacious pride for their schools.

With a newfound understanding—among the coaches of St. John’s, NC State, Michigan, Kentucky, UNLV, Syracuse, Arizona and Iowa—that the shoe could and would become a part of the uniform, the Dunk introduced the concepts of contrast and color application to a shoe like never before.

What started as an “every color, every school” agenda was soon after remixed to “anybody, everybody” as skateboarding adopted the Dunk for its flat soles, expressional colors, ankle-protecting qualities, and ability to take a beating and hold true to its form.

From the team sports to the anti-establishment of fringe cultures, the dunk not only spoke to everyone, but also connected all walks of life.

It was offense, it was defense.
It was his, it was hers.
It was hi-top, it was lo-top.
It was the college court, it was backyard mini-ramp.
It was as beautiful fresh from the box as it was beaten to a pulp.
It demanded our attention, yet took its time to come out from behind the curtain.

Hide as it tried throughout the early ‘90s, the dunk began its resurgence in 1998 thanks to the critical eye and cultural appreciation of Japan. Two years later, the Dunk blew up in a flurry of wild color combos, then broke the very rules it established by going completely tonal as a collaboration with Stussy brought the first double-label Dunk.

What started as a way to fly our team colors has resulted in a way to show our individuality. Like a go-to t-shirt or a weathered pair of jeans, we all have our favorite pair of Dunks, and we more than likely have a nickname for them. They speak to us and they speak volumes about us.

In the case of those original eight college teams, the Dunk was the final piece of the puzzle, but it can just as easily be that piece that just won’t fit. And that’s why we embrace it—we make the Dunk what we want it to be. If there ever was a democracy in the form of a shoe, this is it. And it’s the end result of what happens when we be true.

THE NIKE DUNK 2008
Nike was true to its vision of enhancing athletic performance when the Dunk was conceived. It was first and foremost a shoe built to give college players a competitive edge. The lo-profile soles reduced weight, while the shoe’s signature support collar spanned from the heel to the eyestay, providing added ankle stability and protection.

“It’s in our DNA that innovation drives the design approach first,” says Nike Design Director Jesse Levya. “And from that innovation come these new and exciting expressions of style.”

More than anything, people now relate to the Dunk’s myriad colors. Over the course of the last 23 years, the sneaker has been reborn in every colorway and blocking imaginable, giving Dunk wearers endless opportunities to be true to their individual styles. What better time, then, to get back to the basics—to the first “true” colors of the original eight schools they were conceived for.

Groundbreaking in 1985, the red, blue, white, yellow, orange, grey and black are radical today because of their bold simplicity. “For the Spring 2008 Dunks, we were inspired by the original ‘Be True to Your School’ Dunk poster,” says Levya. “It’s about bringing those pure colors back to a shoe that has gone everywhere stylistically, and evoking the same strong emotional reactions that the first two-tone Dunks did in ’85.”

Nike’s January 2008 re-mastering of the Dunk starts from those electric ‘80s roots—a time capsule reminding what they were first made for: college hoops. Available in the original eight colorways, these Vintage Dunk His look like they came straight from 1985, thanks to an aging process Nike initiated last season with the popular Vintage Running series.
Broken-in leather, ollie scars, weathered foam, stained laces, Nike did all the heavy lifting so you won’t have to, giving them that 23-year-old look, fresh out of the box.

Staying true to the collegiate theme, Nike builds on the soul of the iconic b-ball shoe by releasing a set of Dunk collections based on three NCAA conferences, from east to west. From the colors of the prestigious Big East, to the team uniforms of the ACC, followed by classic Pac 10 style, Leyva’s team conceived unique blocking for each division, applying them to Dunkestos, Premiums, His and Los.

This return to the simplicity of true colors represents the origins of the iconic sneaker, which, in turn, are all about representing: representing your school, representing your city, and most importantly, representing yourself.

Nike Dunk 2008 styles are available in select Nike stores starting January 2008. For more information visit www.betrue.com.
