Dover Street Market's Velvet-Clad Nike Dunk Low Collaboration Is Almost Here
Here’s your best look at the pair yet.
The world caught a glimpse at Dover Street Market‘s Nike Dunk Low collaboration back in May 2021, showcasing the white pair before a closer look of the black pair came in July, and now Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe‘s luxury multi-brand retailer has given us an official look at the soon-coming collaboration.
DSM and Nike have a long-standing relationship, having served as the platform of years of COMME des GARÇONS x Nike collaborations from various CdG offshoots. Now, it gets its own Dunk Low, and in typical form, the pair is clean, simplistic, and fuss-free, but naturally luxurious at the same time.
Both colorways are served up entirely in velvet, appearing in tonal makeovers that give the shoe a distinctive aesthetic. Typically, Dunks serve as the base for bright colors and wild designs — here, a mini Swoosh has been embroidered into the lateral front-quarter, while DSM and Nike branding adorn the left and right heels respectively, also embroidered in tonal hues.
The Nike tongue tag is, again, tonal, as are the laces and the insole, which is where we find the signature DSM-house-shaped logo. Standard details such as a perforated toe box still remain, and the sole unit is served in its usual form.
Take a look at the Dover Street Market x Nike Dunk Low in black and white velvet above, and stay tuned to HYPEBEAST for more information regarding an official release date and price — which should be coming very soon, ahead of the sneaker’s drop in-store and online.
