    Nike Dunk Japanese City Pack - Tokyo/Fukoaka/Nagoya/Osaka

    This Pack is from Japan’s Nike. It has 4 Dunks. Each Dunk has been designed to refer to a famous landmark or feature of the city that is represented. All their colors are customized to reflect the special traits of the cities. They all look good and this range aims to capture every taste. The pictures are borrowed from SneakerFreaker.

    The Fukuoaka Dunk Low has a white toe box that is framed by a blue border. The midsection is colorful. The Nike swoosh is gold.

    The Osaka Dunk Hi has the same blue border around the toe box. The main section has red-white pin stripes. It represents Doutonbori; a drumming doll. The Nike swoosh is in a striking black color. The red shoe laces complement the red pin stripes.

    The Nagoya Dunk is gold colored. It represents the dolphin that is the mascot for the city. The white lace and green inner lining are good matches for the gold colorway.

    The black and white Dunk is the hairy Tokyo Dunk. This represents the big panda named Ling-Ling. This is the easiest Dunk to identify. The off white color of the main body looks good with the black colored accents. I prefer this Dunk because it is versatile and can be used in many functions.

  • Nike Osaka Dunks

    Nike has unveiled a four pack of Dunk Highs that honor the various traditions and symbols of Japan. Basketball players, skaters and sneaker fans can honor Osaka with the pair of Nike Dunks shown above. This red/blue/white colorway is all over the place in terms of design aesthetic with mixed results.

    I love the red octopus placed on the back panel of both Osaka Dunks. This octopus adds a playful touch that plays well off of the light blue leather. My main problem with the Osaka Dunks is the candy stripe design that runs from the eyelets to the outsole on both sides of the shoe. The red octopus and laces do not mesh well with the striped design and I would feel like a candy cane if I walked down the street in these shoes. I think these Dunks are pretty solid though I would pass on them due to the crazy stripes. Check out another picture of the shoe after the post.
