St. Pauli x Nike Dunk Pack

St. Pauli’s free-thinking movement which originated in the 1980s created a special sort of kult club for the Hamburg based football team. Despite a yo-yo history between the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga, it was club policies such as the banning of right-wing nationalist displays at their home games which would cement St. Pauli in the football world as a club devoted to more then just the sport itself. To commemorate the efforts of the club, Nike has created a special two pair pack which will release in mid May.The Dunk Low will be exclusive to Germany, Austria and Switzerland while the Dunk High will see a bit wider release across Europe.
