Part of a four-shoe Hacky Sack pack, this Nike Dunk High Premium SB wraps the upper in a multicolor woven textile that copies the crocheted footbags of the 1980s. The pattern came from a scrap of fabric Nike SB's designers found in Tokyo, and it covers every main panel here, with black suede overlays framing the weave and a gum light brown outsole underneath. The pack put the same material on a Zoom Stefan Janoski, an Eric Koston SE and a Dunk Low Premium, but the High gives the pattern the most room. It released in May 2014 at $110.
The woven fabric is thicker and more textured than canvas, so the shoe has a knitted, almost handmade feel that suits the throwback theme. Black suede on the structural overlays keeps it skateable where the weave alone would wear through, and the SB build adds the padded tongue and collar plus Zoom Air heel cushioning. It is loud by design, a shoe you build an outfit around rather than into; the gum sole and black trim are what keep a rainbow weave from tipping into costume.
