Concepts’ Nike SB Dunk High Collaboration Is Inspired By The Turducken Dish_CaminosModa

Hot off the heels of opening the doors to their newest flagship in Boston, Concepts is now turning our eyes back towards their run of 2020 footwear collaborations. Next up on their agenda is yet another project with Nike SB entitled the Dunk High “Turdunken”. Its namesake is a cheeky remix that nods to Turducken, a Thanksgiving staple dish often associated with former NFL commentator John Madden, and of course the retro basketball silhouette which is involved in this release.

Design-wise, this installment calls upon visual elements from the mallard duck including colors and textures and applies them throughout various regions of the shoe. This is evident through the iridescent tongues which can be interpreted as swimming animal’s heads, the blend of furry tan quarter panels, brown suede overlays which nod to its body, and the orange treading which is emblematic of their webbed feet. Tongues, which usually spell out the silhouette’s moniker have been playfully modified to print out “Nike Duck Pro”, and arrive paired up with Concepts signature logo on the flip side. Sock lining welcomes in more decorative energy by way of old school black and white wallpapers of actual mallard duck imagery.

When Concepts launches this pair, customers will receive an exclusive turkey oven-inspired box that comes packaged with Nike Dri-FIT chicken foot socks, turkey wrapping paper, and a turkey leg Nerf vortex football. An accompanying apparel capsule will also drop alongside the shoes which will include a beanies, tee, and flannel jacket, all of which will range from $46-$285.

Peep an detailed look at the right here and note that they’ll be available with special packaging at Concepts on November 14th for $249, followed by a wider launch on Nike SNKRS come Saturday, November 21st for $120 USD.
