Nike Dunk High Custom Red Bull is one of the products in the rather huge 'High' Nike-Dunks family. Its other siblings in this family include the likes of Nike Dunk Hi SB Glow In the Night, the Nike Dunk Hi Pro SB Hay High Don Quixote, the Nike Dunk High - Collection Royale Dontrelle and the Nike Hi SBTG X Lazy; to name but just a few of the other 'high' Nike Dunks. Now of all the Nike that I have gotten the opportunity to wear, I have to confess that it is the Nike High Custom Red Bull that I have gotten most enchanted with.
When you look at Nike High Custom Red Bull, the overall feeling you get is that of serenity and peace, the presence of many colors on the shoe notwithstanding. As it turns out, Nike's choice of colors for use on the Nike Custom Red Bull, combined with the way they are employed throughout the shoe ensures that it is not a 'loud' shoe. In other words, Nike High Custom Red Bull is a shoe you can wear comfortably; even if you are a person who doesn't like attracting 'undue attention.'
The bottom part of the sole on Nike High Custom Red Bull, the part that is in contact with the ground, is colored red; quite a dark hue of it. The upper part of the sole, the part where the sole gets joined to the upper body of the sole is colored white. The shoe's upper body is quite an amalgamation of many colors; thankfully quiet colors; so that we have the front part where the toes go in being grey, with the upper portion above that being white; with these being the most dominant colors on the shoe. Other colors that make a showing on the shoe are red (which shows on the Nike tick and a few other spots on the shoe), yellow (in at least two patches, one where the 'bulls' are depicted), and blue, in quite a huge patch towards the back end of the shoe.
Height-wise, Nike Custom Red Bull is quite a tall shoe; though not conspicuously so. Indeed, an untrained eye would probably have difficulties trying to classify this shoe as either a 'high' or a 'mid' Nike. The highest point on this shoe is, as one would expect on a 'high' dunk, towards the center (where the 'tip' of the shoe's tongue is to be found). But after this peak, the shoe starts receding in height as we head backwards; so that the very back end is rather low, compared to the peak height. This makes for comfortable wearing - and comfortable removal of the shoe from the foot.
To help wearers keep the shoe secured on their feet, Nike provides the traditional shoelace (string) mechanism on the Nike Dunk High Custom Red Bull. As is almost standard on all 'high' Nike, there is provision for a whopping 18 shoelace holes, although one does have the option of leaving some of these unthreaded.
