For Fall 08 Nike looks to Beijing for design inspiration, building a collection anchored around colors – while referencing the octagon that is central to the theme of the Fall 08 Nike Sportswear collection.

The Concept for the graphics on this Nike Dunk is inspired by sports optics research done by an engineer named Chiro Fusco in the Innovation Kitchen. For this dunk, a tightly knit pattern of tiny octagons is digitally printed on the canvas, fooling the eye into seeing the iconic blocking of the original Nike Dunk shoes. The illusion makes the shoe appear blurred or farther away by making it look out of focus.

The Octagon Pack is available now at Limited Edition Vault Heeren. Don’t wait – there is only one pair per size per color. So leave your computer right this instant and head down to the store if you really want ‘em.
