Giving a nod to hip-hop, Nike has unveiled a new “Classics” colorway for its iconic high-top silhouette, the Dunk High to commemorate the celebration.

For five decades of hip-hop, the shoe arrives in a mostly slick, black and grey color scheme. The shoe features a special label on the tongue tag, calling out the 50th-anniversary celebration of hip-hop.
