The Nike SB Dunk Beijing release date is finally, officially, set. The shoe will hit Nike.com this Saturday, September 13.
Influenced by the architecture of China’s capital city, the shoe is directly inspired by its famous hutongs, distinct alleyways that are commonplace in Beijing. Mimicking the look of that old construction, the shoe pairs textured dark grey leather overlays with a cement-like grey base over the upper. Black on the tongue and liner adds complementary balance, while those colors’ overall neutrality are sharply contrasted by the red-outlined gold Swoosh, which also serves to reconcile the look with the regal, ornate elements of Chinese culture.
Grab a pair on Nike.com this weekend, and look for the shoe at skateshops going forward; independent spots won’t necessarily have to strictly abide by that launch date.
