Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Piet Mondrian’ | US 10

In 2008 Nike released a Nike SB Dunk Low Pro inspired by Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Mondrian, regarded as one of the greatest modern artists, was a key figure in the De Stijl movement. This school of thought proposed a new style of art which proposed pure abstraction - art which is reduced to geometric lines and primary colours. In line with this idea, Nike took the concept and applied it to the Dunk.

The sneaker, built of canvas and nubuck, has clearly defined black borders along each panel - matching the black laces and outsole. With a yellow toe, red heel panels, and a blue heel tab, the colour composition is in line with Mondrians works and makes it one of the most recognisable SB Dunks produced.

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reappropriated the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.
