Route One productions present: “City of Cinema”!
The final curtain call of their Franco-infused foray, the “City of Cinema” Dunk is Nike SB’s nod towards the origin of contemporary cinema. Although others had successfully experimented with rudimentary moving picture techniques throughout the 19th Century, the “birth of cinema” is credited to the (appropriately named) frères Lumières, Auguste and Louis Lumière. Their invention, the Cinematographe, allowed them to capture and show dynamic images, and the short films they produced for Parisian audiences between 1895 & 1905 are the foundation for all of modern cinema.
Recognising the city’s relationship to cinematography, the warm complexion of the newest Nike SB shoe is reminiscent of a cinema from Paris’ beautiful Belle Époque era. A two-tone outsole sets the scene for the rest of the affair, a complimentary upper upholstered in grandiose, antique gold suede. Plush, velvety panels in gothic rouge and steely blue reiterate the regal palette, ornamenting the collar and tongue, whilst shadowy leather Swooshes screen across the sidewalls; custom insoles close the show, evoking an eccentric Art Nouveau aesthetic, in-fitting with the theatrical theme.
Nike SB’s latest venture elicits over a century of cinematic excellence; the euphoric sensation of an audience’s sudden hush, settling in the silence before a visual experience unfolds.
The City of Cinema Dunk Low Pro, now playing.
