Union NYC / LA x Nike Dunk High Challenge Supreme (20th Anniversary)


WORDS FROM THE HERO


Remember my NIKE LAVA / INFRA RED frenzy post? If not, Click Here <---

I Put crazy effort into the post refering to the [nike-air-tech-challenge-hybrid-verses] The Lava Color-way, Then you had the hordes of Infra-Red creations. Which to be honest, Are pretty much the same color, both just w/ cool names for em. Well, It seems the good folks over @t UNION (NYC -Branch) have released A dope Sneaker in the spirit of their 20th Anniversary.
A very limited run (as usual w/ these types of sneakers) and super pricey ($400) and hard to find. They also released A unique colorway for the LA-Branch of Union which are cool, but Im a sucker for INFRA-LAVA =)

Anywho, Read on....Read on I visited A few different sources for this post, HighSnobiety, Freshnessmag, FightClub, Osneaker, SneakerFiles, Etc..... So Enjoy the Repeat Info thru-out the post haha.

Nike Dunk Hi Challenge Supreme

Union NYC / Union LA


Blazing a trail on the New York retail scene back in the late 80’s, Union NYC would be the first outlet for many different brands over the course of its illustrious history. As a well-respected cornerstone of streetwear retail, the store links up with Nike Sportswear on a Dunk High Challenge Supreme. Borrowing the iconic aesthetics of the Agassi signature Air Tech Challenge II, we see bits of this applied to the Dunk High. A logo strap is also added to the product with Union NYC icons on the heel as well. Only 100 pairs are rumored to be in existence.

Union has released two anniversary t-shirts. Their infamous logo appears on black and white t-shirts, featuring the Union x Nike Dunk Hi Challenge Supreme Colors.



Joining in on a collaborative project with its big brother (and original) store front Union NYC, Union Los Angeles are also set to drop a Nike Sportswear Dunk High Challenge Supreme. This time featuring a black colorway and on a tip similar to the Air Tech Challenge II, the shoe maintains a bright fluorescent highlight in yellow which pops pretty well against the black. Union LA is stitched on the heel with TPU straps coming up the side of the shoe in gray. Finishing things off are a subtle camo for the liner. Much like the NYC version, we assume the run will be pretty limited to these at in and around 100 pairs.
