When it comes to unique colourways, Dunks are cut from different cloth. Alluding to the old idiom, Nike SB’s latest plays flagrant with fabrics; a homage to bargain hunters worldwide.


The ‘Big Money Savings’ Dunk brings thrifty, furniture store core with a kitschy blend throughout its upper: grey velveteen suede laps a sturdy burlap toe piece and clashes garishly baroque leather side panelling; a plush, piped cotton tongue supports structured rope laces, which arrive in a selection of three contrasting colours.


New but nostalgic, manufactured wear across the BMS Dunk’s embossed details evoke a sense of anemoia over Grandma’s wallpaper; its lightly crackled swooshes bring a vintage vibe and tie together its tonal textures. Meanwhile, gaudy heel tab embroidery and a speckled blue outsole contradict the neutrality of the upper. Sickly sentimental and undeniably unique, the Big Money Savings Dunk is at once conflicting and cohesive. It shouldn’t work, it just does.
