Gonna double up on these - simple but so nice!

Skate your dunks. Or not. Who am I to tell you what to do?

Only on the second lace (on the regular flick foot :D) and no holes yet. Right now they feel great to skate, super broken in, but it won’t last long I’m afraid.

I don’t have much time to skate these days, so they might still last me a month!

Glad I have another “good” pair to just wear, since these are one of my favorite pairs for sure!

Beyond SB Dunk Hi + merch and special goodies at the release today in Helsinki. Hyped for the crew and Finnish skateboarding 💙🤍

Came at 8am (release at 10) and was 4th in line for the Beyond dunks. This shoe might not be that important to some, but to us locals it is.

Getting the special box and extra goodies will be nice!

Finally came across a very slightly used pair and made a ok trade (for me at least) on these. Glad to add them to my collection. A tiny clean up and the are like new!

Beyond skate shop owner Juho went on Finnish live morning TV news to officially reveal their Dunk collab.

While some find the CW a bit borning, this is huge for Finnish skate community 🇫🇮 💙

The Dunk CW is inspired by Finnish designer Alvar Aalto (born in Jyväskylä, where Beyond’s flagship store is located), who is indirectly inspired Pool skateboarding by designing some if the first recorded free form swimming pools in California, which people ended up skating in when dry.

Official info frol Beyond about the collab:

“Respecting Alvar Aalto's design philosophy, the Beyond Dunk represents Scandinavian functionalism. The shoe's Nike Swoosh logo's color, which is folded into birch, refers to Aalto's iconic furniture. The sole's shade reflects Aalto's favorite red brick. The heel of the high-top shoe is modeled after the blue glazed brick Aalto designed and used in several projects.

The shoe model, which refers to the details of Aalto's design work, has been approved by the Alvar Aalto Foundation.”

The attention to detail is just 🤌🏻 The boys at Bluetile really put some thought into these!

Loved these since I saw the first leaks - they did cook up one of the best SB Dunks I have seen in a while! On of the best skate shop collabs ever imo.

Don’t bash me for the socks, it’s hot out and the Jorts had to be :D

They are definitely more on the stiff side, but damn do the laces pop!

First time out - love em!
