Nike Dunk Electrico

Posted on May 28, 2008 Under Fashion

These are close-up preview shots (after the jump) that we got of the super-special Nike Dunk Electrico that won’t be fully and officially revealed until tomorrow in Sao Paulo. Nike appropriately picked the famous half-Brazilian, half-Japanese tattoo artist and jewelry designer Jun Matsui "” who was born in northern Brazil but spent most of his time in Tokyo before moving back to his home country, a story not so uncommon from where I’m writing this post "” to lend his design skills and mark the 100th anniversary of the Japanese immigration to Brazil. He’s come up with a sleek brown leather shoe, with both Japanese cultural symbols and his own signature glyphs in gold (such as a ferret and rat). Four hundred signed pairs were made and, yep, will be sold only in Brazil and Japan.
