Carpet Company x Nike SB Dunk High

Nike’s SB division is teaming up with an industry newcomer, the US skateboard label Carpet Company, to develop a collaboration based on the Nike SB Dunk High silhouette. The first sample is presented to us today.

The Carpet Company brand was founded in 2015 by two Baltimore skateboarders, brothers Ayman and Osama Abdeldayem. Dissatisfied with the quality of the items offered by the manufacturers, the two brothers, having a great sense of creation and humor, decided to develop their own designs for skateboards and clothing. Already working full time, the Carpet Company products were born in the basement of the family home. The Baltimore brothers’ brand can really be called « independent and owned by skateboarders ». Ayman and Osama offer colorful handmade items, embellished with details, embroidery and special printing techniques, sometimes paying homage to their Egyptian Muslim culture.

The sample consists of a premium quality white leather upper with faded blue overlays and graphic nuances, a nod to the brothers’ signature « do-it-yourself » style. The light grey suede mudguard, juxtaposed with the yellowed white midsole, and the also yellowed tongue, add a vintage look to the pair. The Carpet Company branding is coupled with Nike SB on the tongue label, and the Carpet logo stands out under the outsole. Arabic script appears on the right heel tab and the tagline « Brought to you by the habibis at Carpet Company » adorns the left heel tab. To showcase the creativity and design of the Baltimore independent label, the insoles are covered with a colorful print and the inside of the tongue label is decorated with typical Carpet Company details. A rubber outsole completes the look.

The Carpet Company x Nike SB Dunk High is scheduled for release in early 2021. This version is a sample, the final pair may have some changes…
