Nike SB Takes Us Behind the Design of the Futura Laboratories Dunk by Futura
Worlds collide. But not really! Legendary NYC artist Futura gives us a peak at the process behind the new Nike SB Futura Laboratories Dunk that recently dropped. Chances are if you're here... you know the ones.
From the gritty alleyway walls of New York to his personal touch on the iconic Nike SB Dunk silhouette, Futura's influence and creativity are timeless and bold. This shoe has been the talk of the town this time around... and for good reason. Dive in:
"One of New York City’s artistic legends, Leonard McGurr a.k.a. Futura’s creative vision continues to evolve and influence—across medium, genre, and instinct," Nike tells us on their site.
"With his iconic hand style at the center, his work eschews labels or context, despite being known as one of grafitti’s most-famous progenitors. From subway car fame of decades past, to prestigious gallery and museum exhibitions of the now, Futura’s pieces boldly reinterpret space through color, characters, and typography."

The Futura Laboratories Dunk has already hit skate shops worldwide and might still be available on the SNKRS app... but like most of these Dunk releases, if you snooze, you lose! Regardless, Futura is a real one and hearing him and Koston reminisce about the old days and beyond was a real treat.
I co-own a shop in San Diego and saw these things fly off the shelf! In fact... they never even touched the shelf. Gone within the blink of an eye. To me, that says a lot about this collab. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into these releases. What's next!? Who knows... but we're ready.
