Everything related to culture (from culinary art to the most iconic video games) seems to converge in one place: the sneaker sphere . Music is even more closely linked to this industry, as artists like Drake, Travis Scott, and Kanye West have enjoyed countless collaborations throughout their careers. Soon, even Run The Jewels will be getting their own long-awaited pair of shoes, thanks to Nike SB. After leaks late last year, official images of both Run The Jewels x Nike SB Dunks have surfaced ahead of their April release. Between the two, the Dunk Low is by far the simpler in its design, opting for a rather simple colorway consisting mainly of " Deep Royal Blue " and " Blue Chill ".

In addition to dressing up the shoe's suede construction, these cool tones highlight the transparent sole as well as the "Run The Jewels" branding visible under the foot. If other nods to the hip-hop duo are also present on the insole (which features the gun and fist logos) exterior references are rare. However, this is not the case with the Dunk High that accompanies it. In addition to engraving its Swoosh like a jewel, the design transforms Killer Mike and El-P's signature insignia into crystallized dubras, of which two variations - one gold, the other dark gray - are provided with each pair. Other than the insole branding, these shoes bear few similarities to their aforementioned counterpart, featuring faux fur overlays and a leather base coated in an "Active Pink" and dark neutral colors, respectively.
