Nike SB Dunk Low De La Soul

Designed by Peter Moore and released on 16 May 2015 as part of Nike's Dunk Low line. This release has a suede upper in Safari/Altitude Green/Baroque Brown. Nike SB building a Dunk around De La Soul is the brand's music relationship at its most respectful, which matters because that relationship has not always been. Nike used the Beatles' Revolution in 1987 after paying Capitol Records without Apple Records' approval, was sued and pulled the ads in March 1988, and Nike SB later appropriated Minor Threat's 1981 album artwork in 2005, drawing a public rebuke from Ian MacKaye and an apology. A collaboration with a named group is the corrected version of that instinct: credit rather than borrowing. The Dunk itself is the right canvas because skateboarding rescued it from obsolescence, and skate culture and hip hop have never been strangers to each other.
