{"product_id":"mkt-curated-by-joopiter-nike-dunk-high-coraline","title":"Dunk High 'Coraline'","description":"\u003cp\u003eLAIKA sits geographically and personally close to Nike. The studio operates out of the Portland area near Nike's Beaverton headquarters, and its president and CEO Travis Knight — son of Nike co-founder Phil Knight — has built the animation house through a decades-long connection that made cross-brand collaborations between the two studios feel like a natural family gesture rather than a marketing arrangement. When LAIKA released \u003cem\u003eCoraline\u003c\/em\u003e in February 2009 as its debut feature — the Henry Selick-directed stop-motion adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novella that grossed over $124 million worldwide and reset the international perception of what stop-motion could achieve — Nike produced a small run of promotional footwear to mark the moment. This Dunk High Premium comes directly from that release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shoe translates Coraline's hand-woven, hand-knit, hand-sewn visual world into footwear directly. The upper is constructed in herringbone-woven wool tweed with contrasting tan leather overlays across the mudguard, toe box, Swoosh, eyestay, and heel — a material vocabulary that mirrors the textile craft Selick's stop-motion team built across the film's character costumes and sets, most memorably in the knit sweaters, patched dresses, and layered fabric details that anchor Coraline's other-world wardrobe. Visible top-stitching runs throughout the pair, a soft light blue interior lining pulls from the film's dream-world palette, and the chocolate brown gum-toned outsole closes out the tonal story. Two additional lace sets — navy blue and cobalt — accompany the shoe as part of the original sample kit, echoing the film's cool-blue accents. The pair was distributed exclusively through Nike's Sportswear PR channel one-to-one to editorial and industry contacts, with the original outer packaging remaining intact today. LAIKA × Nike promotional footwear from the \u003cem\u003eCoraline\u003c\/em\u003e release exists in genuinely tight numbers, and pieces surviving with their original packaging and full lace kit intact rarely surface outside private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NIKE","offers":[{"title":"US 7.5","offer_id":67267170795769,"sku":"JP-04802-GRY-0075M","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/97484669-c3a0-4124-8238-430f85ba967b_67d2b716-9d13-459c-a9b2-9a0c407dde8d.jpg?v=1790876637","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/products\/mkt-curated-by-joopiter-nike-dunk-high-coraline","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
