The latest project of the duo Dunk Low "What The" was teased by the brains behind the label Edison Chen via his Instagram handle. The official site introduces the Dunk sneaker model as:

“From backboards to skateboards, the influence of the Nike Dunk is undeniable. Although introduced as a basketball shoe in 1985. Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, the Dunk released decades of countless colorways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast.”

The latest sneaker perfectly sums up the partnership of the Swoosh label and CLOT as they brought together cultures of the west and east together.
