In 2003-2004, Nike introduced the White Dunk Evolution of an Icon event, challenging 25 Japanese artists to reinterpret the classic white Nike Dunk as abstract masterpieces. This innovative initiative spawned the commemorative Nike Dunk 'City Series,' showcasing highlights from major global cities. The series commenced with the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Paris,' followed by the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'Tokyo,' and later introduced 'London' and 'Pigeon' SB Dunks.


Beyond giving rise to some of the most sought-after Nike SB models, this symbolic event served as an early platform, emphasizing the intrinsic connection between art, lifestyle, and sneakers. It transformed the White Dunk into a canvas, showcasing its potential to become anything.


This iconic blank Dunk, produced  in 2002, has served as the canvas for numerous legendary colorways, designs, and collaborations. With its white leather upper and matching outsole, this particular pair stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the silhouette, proving that simplicity can be iconic. Alongside the sneakers, there are extra laces with branding from the White Dunk exhibition, as well as additional ephemera such as the official book, t- shirt, and tote bag from the exhibition.
