In another era, the artist Futura’s latest SB Dunk would have been an unattainable classic. Today, they’re a steal.
There is a certain formula for creating a guaranteed hit sneaker—the kind that fetch unfathomable prices on the second-hand market. To make a hit, you need a famous collaborator with a record of producing beloved sneakers, preferably with ties to both underground and high-end art culture. Enter the former graffiti artist, Futura. Next, you would pair the collaborator with a beloved shoe model, such as a Dunk Low from Nike’s SB skateboarding division. The result can be bold, but it should remain wearable and, of course, well-made.
