New pictures of the Nike Dunk SB ‘Shanghai 2’ have been revealed at Sneaker Freaker. Here’s a description from Sneaker Freaker: “Most of the shoe’s color is inspired by the steamer of Xiao long. Stretch leather and wooden color, cause the steamer is made of bamboo. Due to the delicious oily juice in xiao long, it always and easily get dirty/oily. We use oily leather to present that effect. The logo on the tongue means the small dishes/bowl + chopsticks. People always eat xiao long together with vinegar, which always be put in the little dishes/bowls. And always, Chinese people use chopsticks. Stitches on the upper inspired by the stitches on the steamer.”
