A shoe-in for Dunk of the year. We just got blessed with some new flicks of the Bluetile Skateshop Dunk and all the drop details: Read below for the inspiration behind the colorway and more.

"A shoe inspired by the Monarch butterfly and the
journey it embarks on to find its way home. The Monarch is a symbol of resiliency adopted by Mexican
immigrants who have found their home in faraway
places. These themes are made even more powerful
as we get to celebrate our very own @irv_ing, who
immigrated here from Veracruz, Mexico Like the
Monarch, Irving and the many immigrants like him
bring color to our lives and continue to uplift the
communities they serve.

Taking design cues from our pollinator friends, we
added wings, fuzzy laces, and hexagonal swoosh
eyes. This collaboration also highlights South Carolina
and the vibrant sunsets painted across our skies. A
place Bluetile has called home for 25 years…
