Nike "Coraline" Dunk High

Nike Dunk High created in association with the upcoming sophomore motion-picture from LAIKA, Coraline. LAIKA is headed by none other then Phil Knight, Nike’s well-known chairman. In a project set-up by the next generation of creative talents, W+K12 (sponsored by creative agency Wieden + Kennedy), Nike’s iconic Dunk was re-produced in a DIY aesthetic relating to the animated movie Coraline. The shoe’s upper includes a number of interesting additions and props as well as special packaging. Directed by Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and based on a story by Neil Gaiman, the movie’s premise involves a young girl who inadvertently stumbles into an alternate albeit it better universe with a number of twists. Given the track record of all the parties involved, this latest film should not disappoint. As mentioned, Coraline hits theaters February 6th with a chance to win 1 of a 1000 pairs following the credits.
