Nike Dunk Low Split - Chicago

The Dunk exists because Nike needed one shoe it could recolour for every college programme it outfitted, and the shoe's fixed two layer panel map is what made that possible. The Split series pushes the idea to its logical end by cutting the upper vertically so two colourways share a single shoe. This is the Chicago version, using the red and white pairing that runs through the most recognisable moments in Nike's basketball history. Style code DZ2536 600 places it in the modern Dunk Low run. Where a normal Dunk quotes one team, a split pair quotes the system itself, which is a more knowing kind of design and reads as such.
