The Nike Dunk SB Low "Money Cats" is based off of the Maneki Neko (aka Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money cat or Fortune Cat), a Japanese sculpture, often made of porcelain or ceramic, which is believed to give good luck to the owner. This Nike Dunk SB extracts inspiration from the sculpture that depicts a cat signalling with an upright paw, which is usually displayed in stores, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. The shoe features a suede front and synthetic back with red stitching seen throughout the shoe. The tongue tab has a custom font made for the "Money Cat" package saying "Nike SB". The tongue tabs also has a small quote written onto it. The quote chosen for the "Money Cat" lows was "Get that money." This colorway and design was constructed by James Keoni Arizumi and Triplett.

  1. Shoes are so crazy. I didn't think they mattered that much. I don't pay much mind to the shoes I wear. I didn't even know shoes had their own terminology. It's really fun though, its whole new world.
