Nike Dunks
The Nike Dunks is one of the extremely well-known members of the Nike Shox Shoes ‘High’ products family, close relatives to it in that family being the likes of Nike Dunk 0161, 0162, 0166, the colourful Nike Dunks Channel Zero, the Nike Gucci Dunk High SB among many others. I must confess that I constantly wondered as to what people actually found so appealing in high dunks, which I regarded better worn by teens: before I got to use the Nike Dunks 0160, a trainer with which I have since gotten so enchanted with as for me to make it my favored casual-wear trainer.
It is worthwhile mentioning, right from the outset, that the Nike 0160 is a truly tall trainer in the real sense of the word, so that if you have constantly searched for a ‘high’ dunk that genuinely delivered on the promise of tallness, then the Nike Dunks 0160 would be just the trainer for you. Unexpectedly, the height of the Nike Dunks 0160 is achieved mainly through what one might call clever design on the upper body, because the sole of the sneaker is truly more less of the ‘normal’ thickness that one would expect in a dunk.
Anyone who really knows ‘Nike’ would expect them to exploit colour to the fullest in their products, and this is just what they do on Nike 0160, where I can count at least half a dozen colours of this special set. This starts with the black, which is the color on the lower part of the sole (the part that is in contact with the ground). This black later makes another albeit very small appearance on the shoelaces; for Nike Dunks 0160 which by default come black.
Then there is white, prominently rendered on the upper part of the Nike 0160′s sole, that is, the part of the sole which connects to the upper body. The upper body itself is mainly grey and navy blue, with the navy blue making a greater appearance of the two, and the grey patch only forming the basic structure on which the purple main body is ‘hinged.’ The colours don’t end there, as there is red, which has the ‘honor’ of gracing the Nike tick on the Nike Dunks 0160, with yellow also getting a representation on this trainer, on another small Nike tick on the tip of the shoe’s tongue, which also happens to be the largest point on the trainer. What is exceptional about Nike’s employment of color on the Nike 0160 is the fact that a thoughtful choice of colours for the shoe sees the Nike Dunks 0160 come out as 6-color shoe, yet not too loud a sneaker regarding colours, subsequently still qualifying it as a suited footwear when you want to acquire that ‘casual-smart’ look with it.
Nike seems to have a selected preference for the shoelace mechanism (over things like flaps) for tying mechanisms for its trainer products, and it is therefore not surprising that the Nike Dunks 0160 comes with such a shoe-lace mechanism for tying, and a long one as befits a footwear of its height, straddling a whopping 18+ holes over its course, although the user has the option of leaving some of these unthreaded.
Finally I found Nike Shox I was seeking. You can find your beloved Nike dunk trainers also at Creative Recreation.
