Nike proudly introduces the Nike Dunk Low Parris Goebel Quick Strike, a groundbreaking collaboration with Parris Goebel, an influential figure in the dance community. Beyond just a dancer, Parris is a Nike partner, choreographer, artist, and athlete, embodying the multi-hyphenate spirit.
This extraordinary partnership was brought to life through «Goddess Awakened,» a summer event co-created by Parris Goebel and Nike. The event celebrated the power and potential of womanhood through dance, style, and self-expression. Parris unveiled the Nike Dunk Low Parris Goebel Quick Strike during a captivating dance performance at the event, emphasizing her choice of this silhouette for its versatility and durability, allowing her to feel grounded and flexible in her movements.
Parris expressed her profound connection with the Nike Dunk: «My go-to sneaker for dancing has always been a Nike Dunk. I have countless cherished memories of creating and dancing in this shoe.» To make this shoe uniquely hers, she selected vibrant colors—pink and turquoise—that resonate with her personality, home decor, and wardrobe.
In her own words, «As someone whose personal style blends feminine and masculine elements, it was crucial for me to choose colors and materials that strike a balance between masculine and feminine energies. I want everyone to see themselves in my shoe, regardless of how they identify.»
The Nike Dunk Low Parris Goebel Quick Strike symbolizes inclusivity and self-expression. It’s meticulously designed to inspire a new generation of athletes to embrace their unique abilities and express their authenticity, both on and off the dance floor. For Parris, it’s not just about movement; it’s also about communicating and storytelling through style.
«I want every dancer to feel like they can own the floor when wearing this shoe. I want them to feel bold, loud, and unapologetic. This shoe was created for you to stand out,» she boldly declares.
This collaboration marks another significant milestone in Nike’s journey to elevate and celebrate the dance community. Dance is a dynamic force in global culture, influencing music, fashion, entertainment, and sports. It stands as the fastest-growing sport for teens and young women worldwide. Nike is unwavering in its commitment to offering dancers innovative solutions that cater to their distinctive style and holistic performance needs.
The Nike Dunk Low Parris Goebel Quick Strike commands attention with its eye-catching pink and turquoise colorway, complemented by a metallic-patent and leather finish.
