Unisex NIKE DUNK X PAULE MARROT
Great news for young coouples, Nike will release on unisex sneakers this summer.The Nike designer team got the inspiration and chose to remix Nike materials within the Nike Sportswear collection with legendary French textile designer Paule Marrot Editions.
Paule Marrot Editions started release since 1920, It was Once popular amongst the British royal family and Jackie Kennedy. Nike Sportswear’s footwear designers integrated Paule Marrot’s ‘Aurore’ to inspire the Butterflies and Feathers prints on the new ‘Skinny’ Dunks, and the ‘Les Cerises’ print draped two colorways in all-over prints of Cherries on the shoes for Summer 09. ‘Les Cerises’ is adapted from the original Paule Marrot design – Bigareaux – and is inspired by the cherries sitting in front of her when she met her husband-to-be. Paule Marrot’s textiles were heavily influenced by Marrot’s early studies as a painter under impressionists such as Pierre-August Renoir, Raoul Dufy and Maurice Denis. Accents of the designs show up throughout the rest of the Nike Sportswear Summer 09 Dunk collection as well, not just on the ‘Skinny Dunks.’ The Nike designer team have used inspiration to create the original Nike Dunk Lows in unisex styles as well.
