Airborne Piglet Sneakers

The Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Hi is Inspired by the Saying 'When Pigs Fly'

— November 20, 2012 — Fashion
The Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Hi shoes are a comical take on the saying "when pigs fly." In fact, that is the designated name for the sneakers.

The sneakers are covered in soft suede. Light pink suede encroaches all over the upper section of the high-tops, while gray is used for the sneaker's tongue. If you are not seeing the connection of an oinking barn animal by looking at the color palette then pay close attention to the blue laces. Near the front of a shoe is a silver piglet lace lock. And yes, that quirky metal pig has wings attached to it.

Whenever someone tells you that they will do something "when pigs fly," just slide on your Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Hi and jump around. Show them that Nike made it a reality.
