If you've been searching the web lately for the latest sneaker releases, chances are you've heard of the Supreme and Nike SB collaboration. Yes, we are talking about the highly anticipated Nike SB x Supreme Rammellzee Dunk High and Low!!
Supreme and Nike SB: A New Dunk Sensation
Earlier this year, rumors circulated about a new Dunk collaboration between Supreme and Nike. Despite the lack of official word from either partner, a surprise release at Dover Street Market Singapore on July 7 created even more buzz. The Rammellzee-inspired Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low and High sneakers sold out in seconds. Yes, things move that fast in the sneaker world!
The photo DSM Singapore used for the release appeared to be a mock-up of the Highs, suggesting that official photos and release details from Nike are still in development. Furthermore, it's fascinating to see how this collaboration is a reflection of the continued evolution and innovation within the sneaker and streetwear world. Supreme pushes the boundaries with every new release, and this collaboration with Nike is no exception.
Design and Influences
Supreme's Nike Dunk Low, priced at €13 0, boasts a black suede and canvas upper printed with artwork from influential visual artist and musician Rammellzee. The Dunk's colorful design reflects Rammellzee's signature gothic futuristic graffiti and his mixed media sculptures.
For loyal Supreme followers, this is not the first time that Rammellzee's art has taken center stage. The streetwear brand already collaborated with Rammellzee's legacy in its Spring/Summer 2020 collection, launching a pair of graphic T-shirts and pullovers that showcased the artist's signature visual language.
The same Rammellzee influences can also be found in the new Supreme's Nike SB Dunk Low and Highs. The latter is available in white color for a price tag of € 140. As for the design, gold-plated Supreme charms adorn the laces of the Dunks, available in both black and white. There is also double branding on the well-known padded SB tongue and the "World Famous" hangtag.
Release Information
While there were originally rumors that the collaborative Dunks would release with the Supreme SS23 collection, this was not the case. The reason for this remains unanswered.
And for those looking to mark their calendars, Supreme and Nike's Rammellzee Dunks will reportedly launch on August 31st in America and Europe and on September 2nd in Japan. But beware, an official confirmation of a release on SNKRS is still on the way.
Conclusion
If this release is anything like previous Supreme and Nike Dunks, we're in for a stampede. After all, the whole Dunk hype is still in full swing. So sneakerheads, prepare yourselves, because chances are not everyone will be lucky enough to get their hands on these coveted shoes. Demand often exceeds supply, creating a frenzy in the sneaker community.
