Nike Dunks
Posted by mymegablog on Tuesday Aug 31, 2010 Under Huge CategoryThe Nike Dunks is one of the progressively common 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 always considered as to what people truly found so beautiful in high dunks, which I considered better worn by teens: before I got to use the Nike Dunks 0160, a shoe with which I have since gotten so captivated me with as for me to make it my favorite casual-wear sneaker.
It is worthwhile mentioning, right from the outset, that the Nike 0160 is a really tall shoe in the real sense of the word, so that if you have continually searched for a ‘high’ dunk that actually delivered on the promise of tallness, then the Nike Dunks 0160 would be just the shoe for you. Remarkably, 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 genuinely more less of the ‘normal’ thickness that one would expect in a dunk.
Anyone who seriously 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 special couple. 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 generally grey and navy blue, with the navy blue making a better appearance of the two, and the grey patch only forming the basic structure on which the purple main body is ‘hinged.’ The colors 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 shoe, on another small Nike tick on the tip of the shoe’s tongue, which also happens to be the greatest point on the sneaker. What is impressive 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 shoe with regards to colors, hence still qualifying it as a acceptable sneaker when you want to acquire that ‘casual-smart’ look with it.
Nike seems to have a certain preference for the shoelace mechanism (over things like flaps) for tying mechanisms for its footwear 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.
Finally I found Nike Shox I was trying to find. You can find your favorite Nike dunk sneakers also at Creative Recreation.
