(Anne-Marie Paz, Nike Sportswear Footwear Designer introducing Skinny Dunks in Nike Design Studio Tokyo)

Finally a dunk fit for a real female fashionista . This Spring/Summer season Nike Sportswear introduces the new Skinny Dunk, fit for a real female who wants to rock the pop culture icon without losing Nike’s original ethos design. The Skinny Dunk is an innovative mix of fit and feel designed specifically for the female body.  It is less bulky compared to the iconic original Dunk silhouette.

This summer, Nike Sportswear chose to remix Nike materials within the Nike Sportswear collection with legendary French textile designer Paule Marrot Editions. Nike Sportswear’s footwear designers integrated Paule Marrot’s “Aurore” to inspire the Butterflies and Feathers prints on the new “Skinny” Dunks, and the “Les Cerises” print draped two colorways in all-over prints of Cherries on the shoes for Summer 09. The Nike design mantra of form follows function allowed the Sportswear team to deliver product that respects the iconic piece while fitting it to the female body.

Nike Skinny Dunks will soon be available at Limited Edt. Singapore and other selected Nike Sporstwear stockist in the region
