BE TRUE.

NIKE's always been generous with gifts of rare or special kicks, but this one left me speechless. Many, many thanks to Wina and the crew for dropping off this incredible boxed set of the seven 'Be True' Dunks, and full marks to the guys in Manila for the great design work on the 'locker'... This special 'locker' packaging is South East Asia only, and there are only 6 in the world.

2008 is the 20th anniversary of the iconic Dunk, and the first special edition releases will be re-masters of the 7 colourways shown in the old 'Be True to Your School' poster, with each representing a different college.

This is the first time the Dunk has gotten the special Nike 'Vintage' treatment (initially done for a colab with Junya Watanabe/Comme de Garcons) to make them look aged - faded leathers, scuff marks, yellowing midsoles... Even the box has faded cardboard and is based on the original, complete with old-school Nike logos. Attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the softened leather fits like a favourite, broken-in shoe.

That's this week's footwear sorted.

The 'Be True' vintage Dunks will be released individually in very limited quantities in select stores (Tier 0 only?) worldwide... We keep hearing rumours that ONE store in Indonesia may even get some... Of course you're all smart enough not to listen to such idle gossip...
