Bodega’s First Nike Dunk Collaboration Honors ‘Local Legends’ Who Frequent The Original Boston Store

Bodega’s first Nike Dunk collaboration celebrates the crew of ‘local legends’ who frequent the brands original store on Boston’s Clearway Street. The shop, hidden in plain sight behind a secret door within its namesake facade for almost 15 years, “feels more like a barber shop when you come in — a lot of people just pull up for the conversation,” says Bodega Designer Drew White. “We often refer to it as a clubhouse in this way.”

Connecting two of Boston’s biggest sporting fandoms, the Nike x Bodega Dunk High respects the hi-tops basketball roots while adding nostalgic nods to baseball to the design. The uppers rich pebble leather, rawhide lacing and boot stitch detailing reference old-fashioned baseball mitts. Modern elements are incorporated with embossed ‘Bodega’ branding opposite a tortoiseshell, jewel Nike Swoosh.

Nike x Bodega Dunk High SP “Legend” ($120.00) from bdgastore.com. Available Monday, December 28, 2020 at 12pm EST on a first come, first served basis.
