Nike SB presents a project that has been long in the making. The Nike Dunk Low Premium SB - C-Mon & Kypski, a collaboration between Nike SB and Dutch band C-Mon & Kypski, is finally ready to hit the shelves of skate stores across Europe and Asia.
C-Mon & Kypski Hip-Hop instrumentalists are well known and respected in the Dutch skateboard scene. Simon and Thomas are both long time core skateboarders that have been sponsored by local skateboard shop E-zone in Utrecht, Holland. Various Dutch skateboard videos feature their tunes and they've been known to spin a record or two at various skate contests.
The band's music is innovative and refreshing in terms of musical originality. The music of C-Mon & Kypski does not have any musical borders. At first the group could be put under the genre of hiphop/turntablism, but not any more. C-Mon & Kypski can bring their music to you LIVE in a totally unique way. No static laptop stuff but live video scratching, live drums, keys, guitars, live sampling, boomin' beats, lights, the whole nine yards.
Their concept was to create a shoe that people who make music can immediately relate to. The guys were given carte blanche on the design. The color way refers to the artwork of their latest album “Where the Wild Things Are”. The insole pattern is made from their first logo - a head with a turntable for a brain. The shoe has a clear outsole with a pattern of SB & CK. The music connection is made with a music wave and VU-meter. The former representing an actual song the band created for the launch of the shoe.This track will be available from June 7th on www.c-monandkypski.nl.
Limited runs will be at selected core skateboard stores across Europe and Asia only from the 11th of June.
7th of June, E-zone skate shop will be celebrating the launch of the shoe in Utrecht, Holland. The first 50 people to buy the shoe at E-zone will receive a limited Nike SB C&K shirt.
