SB Dunk High x FAUST

Born and raised in New York, rooted to the streets. This special edition Dunk celebrates the 20th anniversary of Nike SB with a design created by the NY-based graffiti artist FAUST. Pairing premium leather with velvety underlays and a smooth satin lining, the asymmetrical design pushes the boundaries of the long list of grailed sneakers in the SB pantheon.
Bridging skate culture with wear-anywhere fashion, the all-black upper is energised with regal pops of gold, paying homage to the classic New York City wardrobe (and common FAUST motif). Messages written in Metallic Gold embroidery are tagged across the entire sneaker. "Sure Faust" honours the artist's graffiti partner and best friend, Sure, who passed away in 2010 while serving his country in Afghanistan. "All That Matters" pays tribute to FAUST's crew, inviting you to transform the streets with your own story. Custom lace tips on 4 sets of laces let you tie up in style.
FAUST began painting graffiti—and collecting Nikes—as a teenager. Now renowned, his calligraphic work has amassed an audience far beyond the street, receiving accolades from the design industry and exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide. The formal qualities of FAUST's murals explore scale and placement, challenging the viewer's perception of graffiti. He incorporates poignant, site-specific language to prompt public discourse and connect with the community, at home and abroad. Ultimately, FAUST's work transforms any surface it adorns, elevating "vandalism" into works of Art.
