Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Paris”

In 2003, Nike SB released the Dunk Low “Paris” (Style Code: 308270-111) as part of the project White Dunk: Evolution of an Icon, which fused art and skate culture across global cities. The pair features the artwork of renowned French painter Bernard Buffet across the entire upper, with each shoe finished in an asymmetric, one-of-a-kind design.

Initially scheduled for release at select skate shops in Paris, the drop was abruptly canceled due to copyright issues regarding the use of Buffet’s works, coupled with major unrest and security concerns around the stores on release day.

As a result, only about 200 pairs were ever circulated, making it virtually a non-retail item, distributed solely to insiders and raffle winners. Today, it stands as one of the rarest and most coveted collector’s sneakers in existence.
