To better celebrate the Tokyo Olympics, Nike tasked their most notable collaborators to craft not just an apparel but also footwear. UNDERCOVER‘s part, which uses the Dunk High as a vehicle, delivers both a vintage-inspired construction as well as an invitation to the imaginary “UBA.” Dressed in black and red, the collaboration reenacts iconic palettes; however, its blocking is distinct from Jordan Brand’s own “Bred” offerings. The neutral fills in the robust overlays — toe cap, eye stay, Swoosh, etc — as well as the padded nylon tongue.

The Nike Dunk High 1985 x Undercover UBA was released on July 28th, 2021, and retailed for USD 150.
