BE@RBRICK is colloborating again for another sneaker release using the familiar furry animal aesthetic. Their Nike partnership goes all the way back to the early 2000s. Although they havn't had tons of drops, and that may be by choice, the accessory brand has been a popular option for sneaker fans. The brand itelf has amassed a sizeable following through it's colorful and playful take on the accessories/toys market. The name itself says what it's about, and this taste for fur and animals has gone into it's Nike design.
While some of it's collabs have been on the extremely furry side, the Nike Dunk Low "Animal" is tamed in that regard. It's more textured than furry.
Let's take a closer look at the Nike Dunk Low BE@RBRICK "Animal." There are only two colors in use, black and white. The textured overlays are a dark grey contrasting with the black on the laterals, vamp, and tongue. There's the large white swoosh on the laterals which extends to the back heel. This matches the white on the collar, tongue label, midoles/outsoles. The Nike Dunk Low BE@RBRICK "Animal" should drop in the US very soon, but is available in the EU at this time.
