Nike SB Dunk High TRD ‘Win Some, Lose Some’ collab Premier

The Premier x Nike SB Dunk High TRD ‘Win Some, Lose Some’ draws inspiration from the thrilling world of gambling and scratch-off lottery tickets. The upper features a premium construction with a base of white leather and overlays of Vachetta Tan leather, providing a clean and sophisticated foundation. The standout and most unique feature is the Swoosh, which initially appears white but is designed to wear away like a scratcher ticket, revealing a metallic gold foil layer underneath. For a very limited number of pairs, this revealed layer also included co-branding, adding an element of chance and exclusivity. Further enhancing the high-stakes theme, the shoe features a translucent gum outsole flecked with gold, mimicking gold dust or glitter. Dual branding is present on the tongue tag and custom insoles, with the insoles notably featuring phrases like ‘E Pluribus Unum’ and ‘In God We Trust,’ similar to US currency.

Released in August 2018, this highly creative and unique collaboration is a testament to Nike SB’s innovative storytelling and collaborative spirit. Its interactive design element makes each pair unique as it’s worn. This sneaker is ideal for dedicated collectors who appreciate unique concepts, interactive design features, and the rich history of Nike SB collaborations. Its premium materials and intriguing “wear-away” Swoosh make it a conversation starter and a statement piece. While rooted in skateboarding, its distinctive aesthetic makes it a versatile lifestyle shoe, perfect for casual wear for those who enjoy a playful yet sophisticated approach to their footwear.
