When I first encountered the mass hysteria that the soccer World Cup causes everywhere but in North America, I was amazed. And that is the reason I am not surprised by the release of the Nike Dunk Hi World Cup shoes.
This offering features the Nike's classic Dunk Hi, but it is outfitted with a series of colorways that honor the countries participating in the World Cup. Sure, there are not as many shoes as there are countries, but the Nike Dunk Hi World Cup shoes do their job honoring the game.
