Run The Jewels Explain The Design Behind Their Nike SB Dunk Collab

by

Run The Jewels is one of the most iconic rap duos of the last decade. Overall, the group consists of Killer Mike and El-P. Both artists have different styles but they come together so perfectly. Additionally, Killer Mike has a new solo album on the way called Michael, and El-P is certainly going to be involved. However, yesterday, these two released their first-ever sneaker collaboration. As we reported, they gave their aesthetic to the Nike SB Dunk High, and the Nike SB Dunk Low.

In the official images which were revealed at the start of the month, you could immediately tell that these were going to be wild. Run The Jewels delivered a blue and pink offering with the Nike SB Dunk Low. Furthermore, with the Nike SB Dunk High, they opted to go crazy with the materials, while also delivering some black and pink hues. Recently, they got to like up with Nike for a special video segment in which they revealed their design philosophy. Overall, these kicks are very unique to the group.

In the video up above, El-P reveals that each shoe was meant to represent different eras of the group. For instance, he notes that the Nike SB Dunk Low pays homage to Run The Jewels 3. As he explains, the softer tones speak on a much moodier record. However, Run The Jewels 4 is much more in your face, which is why you get those harsh pink and black tones. Moreover, El-P goes on to speak about all of the little intricacies and how he really wanted to make these unique to the group. Overall, they accomplished that mission.

As it stands, these are currently on the market. Although, they have sold out in various places. However, you can get them over at GOAT and Flight Club, so be sure to check them out. Each pair is available on those platforms in an array of sizes. Let us know what you think of these Run The Jewels kicks, in the comments down below.

Run The Jewels has cemented itself as one of the best rap duos existing today. The group consists of Killer Mike and El-P. Overall, their music is incredible and features a political edge that fans love. On their own, Killer Mike and El-P are legends, but when they come together, it is always magic. Whether you like them or not, you cannot deny their influence on the game. Without them, a lot of other duos wouldn’t have felt emboldened enough to link up with one another. Needless to say, this influence is special.

When it comes to Run The Jewels, both Killer Mike and El-P are known for their sneaker game. Although this is more true of Killer Mike, there is no doubt they both have a sense of style. Consequently, Nike has approached them to do a collaboration. Of course, the two accepted the invitation, and now, two new shoes are on the horizon. There is a Nike SB Dunk Low on the way, as well as a Nike SB Dunk High. These are two iconic shoes, and subsequently, we have been hit with official images of the low-top variation.

As you can immediately see from the images above and below, this is a sneaker with a whole lot of character. Firstly, we get some dark blue on the side panels and the connecting front overlay. Secondly, there is a lighter shade of blue on the toe box and the back overlay. From there, we get even lighter blues on the laces, tongue, and back heel. Lastly, the Nike swoosh here is pink, with gold Nike branding on the back heel. When you put these elements together, you end up with something that is truly unique.

If you are a fan of this sneaker and want to cop a pair, you will be able to do so as of April 20th, for a price of $130 USD. There is no doubt that these are going to sell out quickly. Let us know what you think of this Run The Jewels collab, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sneaker world.

Ebay x Nike SB Dunk Low “Sandy” Release Date Revealed

by

One of the collaborations that fans have been waiting on this year is the Ebay x Nike SB Dunk Low. This is a shoe that is meant to pay homage to the old collaboration from 2003. Of course, this was an incredibly limited offering at the time, with some astronomical prices attached to it.

Although, it is important to note that this latest iteration of the collab is meant to pay homage to Sandy Bodecker. Bodecker is the person responsible for the Nike SB Dunk Low, and it only makes sense for Nike to honor them. Unfortunately, Bodecker passed away from cancer back in 2018.
