Nike Dunks
The Nike Dunks is one of the progressively 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 colorful Nike Dunks Channel Zero, the Nike Gucci Dunk High SB among many others. I must confess that I generally wondered as to what people actually found so beautiful in high dunks, which I regarded better worn by teens: before I got to use the Nike Dunks 0160, a footwear with which I have since gotten so captivated me with as for me to make it my favorite casual-wear footwear.
It is valuable mentioning, right from the outset, that the Nike 0160 is a genuinely tall sneaker in the real sense of the word, so that if you have generally searched for a ‘high’ dunk that truly delivered on the promise of tallness, then the Nike Dunks 0160 would be just the trainer for you. Amazingly, 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 trainer is definitely more less of the ‘normal’ thickness that one would expect in a dunk.
Anyone who truly 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 colors of this distinct pair. 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 really 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 primarily grey and navy blue, with the navy blue making a higher 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 sneaker, on another small Nike tick on the tip of the shoe’s tongue, which also happens to be the best point on the footwear. What is extraordinary about Nike’s employment of color on the Nike 0160 is the fact that a thoughtful choice of colors for the footwear sees the Nike Dunks 0160 come out as 6-color footwear, yet not too loud a sneaker in terms of colours, hence still qualifying it as a suited footwear when you want to acquire that ‘casual-smart’ look with it.
Nike seems to have a particular preference for the shoelace mechanism (over things like flaps) for tying mechanisms for its shoe 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 shoe of its height, straddling a whopping 18+ holes over its course, although the user has the option of leaving some of these unthreaded.
As a final point I found Nike Shox I was searching for. You can find your favored Nike dunk sneakers also at Creative Recreation.
