The “Black Hornet” Dunk High features an iridescent leather upper which shifts from teal/purple/black in the light depending on angle of view – paying homage to the iconic colors popularized by the Charlotte Hornets during the early 90’s. Elephant print panels take inspiration from the texture of the hornet’s nest hive and classic SB releases of the past giving a nod to Michael Jordan, basketball legend and owner of the Hornets franchise. The shoes sport a smooth black leather swoosh that is highlighted with contrasting silver embroidery in the shape of a stinger, one of many unique details that connect to the city’s roots and inspiration for the shoe.

The tongue is constructed using a tonal, black on black nylon mesh and features a hex “hive” pattern. The underside of the ear flaps reveal a “hornet wing” print while the custom metal honeycomb shaped eyelets provide additional detail. The sock liners feature the official NBA logo and a “hornet’s nest” graphic.
