The latest absolutely jaw-dropping style from Nike Skateboarding is the Nike SB Dunk High Red Packet, release date as yet unannounced but presumably set for sometime before January 31. (More on that later.)
Sporting an all-red upper that couples leather and suede, contrasting with gold accents, the shoe’s look stems from the “red packet” or “red envelope” tradition in China, wherein gifts, generally “lucky money,” are given in gold-accented red envelopes. Such gifts are generally exchanged at special social and family events, notably the Chinese New Year, which happens to fall on January 31 this year.
As such, makes sense that we’d see the shoe before then, right? (Assuming it comes to the States.) Stay tuned for details as they develop and, in the meantime, check out plenty of phots below.
