Originally debuted during Paris Fashion Week back in 2019, the OFF-WHITE x Futura x Nike Dunk Low linked hype-drivers Virgil Abloh and legendary graffiti artist Futura for two colorways. One, a UNC-like mix of Baby Blue and White, the other a mix of striking Fluro Orange and Royal — both of which ostensibly honor sports franchise colors of Futura’s native New York. Both pairs arrive with some familiar touches from their respective collaborators, with Abloh’s overlaying laces and medial c/o text, while Futura’s signature “FL” (Futura Laboratories) embroidery gracing the lateral ankle as it has done on many SB Dunks in the past. It also utilizes his signature on the translucent outsoles and the insoles, and his landmark typeface used alongside OFF-WHITE’s no-frills Helvetica.
