About the Collection

Firecracker

The firecracker designs that are found on the Dunk OG, and Women’s Dunk Low Disrupt, are made up of bright, bold colors. The uppers of the Dunk OG feature firecracker wrapper-inspired designs with wrinkled textures and warning label prints. The Women’s Dunk Low Disrupt Is a more subtle style in Pink, Red, and Blue featuring Firecracker embroidery.

The Air Jordan V and XXXV also received firecracker treatments even though they may not be visible to the naked eye because the firecracker packaging designs are underneath wear-away uppers.

The Final Firecracker Inspired shoe is the Converse Chuck 70, which has an upper made out of a firecracker packaging-inspired material. They also have a graphic print on the tongue and heel and a translucent outsole displaying a firecracker.
