"Back in the early 2000s, we used to make Japan exclusives, and at that time, there was a lot of energy around the Dunk. So the team out there came up with the Viotech colourway, also known in Japan as Crazy Dunks".

"As colour designers, when we looked at the 90 for the anniversary, we were thinking, 'What could this shoe look like along with some of the other iconic colourways of Nike's history?' And of course we went to Viotech and it was a match made in heaven".
