Restaurant-Inspired Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Chairman Bao is Designed After Eddie Haung's Resturant Baohaus NY

— March 31, 2014 — Fashion
When it comes to forward-thinking design, Nike is a brand doing it the best; the new Nike SB Dunk High Pro 'Chairman Bao' is designed in collaboration with Eddie Huang, the owner of Baohaus NY. Baohaus serves bao -- steamed buns filled with delicious ingredients -- which are the perfect treat.

The Chairman Bao's upper is covered in a lush beige unfinished suede. The tongue panel is a clean white and the laces are white as well. The icy blue sole is inspired by the Baohaus' emblematic neon sign and the neon color is used again as detail on the tongue panel.

Spring is the perfect season to hit Baohaus and grab some traditional Chinese bun treats. These sneakers embody the restaurant's characteristics and have a feel that's perfect for spring.
