Virgil Abloh's Nike work ran from 2017, when he rebuilt ten existing models, to this collection four years later. Dear Summer was the largest of those projects by count: fifty Dunk Lows, released on one day, separated mainly by a number printed on a plate at the lateral midsole.
This is 26 of 50, and it is one of the pairs without a bright accent. Sail leather and neutral grey are the whole scheme, so the details that usually carry the colour, the spare laces, the plastic zip tie, the tab on the Swoosh and the exposed tongue foam, stay neutral. Abloh died in November 2021, three months after the collection reached shops. The design language on this shoe, printed Helvetica, an unsecured zip tie, a construction left partly open, is the one he had spent those four years establishing on Nike products.
