MY HOLY GRAIL!!!
This colorway was released as a SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION shoe for the "'White Dunk: Evolution of an Icon'" art exhibition in Paris. Limited to ONLY 202 pairs in the WORLD!
Ballot for the shoes at the Exhibition was planned but was cancelled due to the crazy amount of people wanting them. These were sold at a few select shops in Paris,including Colette and Opium amongst others. Throngs of people queued up for them for days in the cold cruel weather.
The pattern on the shoe features the works of French painter Bernard Buffet.
You can read about him here (http://www.artistregister.com/BernardBuffet.html). Very interesting artist and his paintings have a bizarre quality that really enjoy.
The shoe itself is gorgeous; it's very lively and different. The toe and side panels are suede, while the parts with paintings on them are canvas (a really nice touch). Every pair of the PARIS DUNK is different!
They all have different panels of the featured art piece featured in them.
