Ten years since the classic lowtop launched, officially marrying together the worlds of hip hop and skate sneakers, the De La Soul Dunk is back, albeit slightly modified.
Top to bottom, the legendary look is essentially a dead ringer for the original, boasting the same crisp white leather upper, overlaid with vinyl panels that are printed with the yellow-backed graphics from the acclaimed hip hop trio’s “3 Feet High” album cover. The usual white Swoosh is there, too, as is the white sole unit, cohesively bringing the whole thing together. This time out, though, the collar goes hightop, promising a new generation a crack at the shoe without diluting anyone’s perception of their original lows.
The Nike SB Dunk High De La Soul releases today, February 13, at select retailers nationwide, including Nike.com beginning at 10am EST. And stay tuned for the other De La Soul Dunk, also reviving in 2015.
