Just in time for Halloween, this new release of the 'Dunk High' by Nike puts a macabre fashion spin on a classic sneaker silhouette.
The 'Coffin' release features a stark black leather upper resembling the outside of a coffin that's paired alongside an equally grim Nike swoosh detailing on the side. A deep burgundy red outsole brings to mind thoughts of blood that any fan of vampires or the living dead will appreciate.
The coffin-mimicking aesthetic comes full circle with a red quilted inner lining resembling the plush inside of a casket that extends outwards towards the heel. With all these decorative details, this Halloween-themed release makes for a perfect macabre fashion accessory that will have you stalking in style as you roam the night.
