CLOT Officially Unveil the Nike Dunk High ‘Flux’
Edison Chen’s has finally officially unveiled their much-anticipated ‘Flux’ collaboration, the Hong Kong imprint slated to drop their iridescent remix next week. Thematically revolving around the concept of ‘flux’, the Dunk High takes cues from the Yin-Yang philosophy of fluidity and harmony.
‘The original concept was infusing a Yin and Yang philosophy of black and white. It’s predominantly silver right now, but actually, the ends of the spectrum are white and black, and the mixture of those in the middle is what causes this chrome-like silver effect on the shoe,’ says Edison.
The concept of fluidity is emphasised by the Dunk’s mesmerising lenticular construction, the eye-catching colourway shimmering like water at every angle. The futuristic aesthetic continues throughout the fabric overlays and iconic Swoosh logos, which have been elevated by topstitches. One of the most salient aspects of the design is the co-branded tongues, which switch between CLOT and Nike logos when in movement.
‘I have always had this fascination with lenticular since I was a child. When we started approaching the design, I thought about a shoe that would change and would catch your eye even if you’re standing across the street,’ Chen explains. ‘The shoe, at every angle you move, gives you a different feel. The simplicity of the colorway and the subtleness give a very contemporary view of what a shoe might look like in the future,’ he added.
Releasing along with the Dunk High ‘Flux’ is a collectable card series, coming in six lenticular designs to echo the sneaker. Scattered within the card release are two special versions autographed by Chen, including a limited edition and an exciting ultra-rare version. Every pair of Flux Dunks will come with one card, distributed at random.
The CLOT x Nike Dunk High ‘Flux’ is set to launch on 18 March 2022 at Keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for raffle details!
