Answer: A seismic homage to the\u003cbr\u003eindirect architect (pun intended) of the art of pool skating. Introducing the\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Store \u0026amp; Nike SB Dunk Hi inspired by the work of Alvar Aalto. The\u003cbr\u003ecollaboration pays homage to the legendary status of Aalto, and Jyväskylä, the\u003cbr\u003ehometown of both Beyond and Aalto, which is renowned for its Aalto-designed\u003cbr\u003ebuildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe long wait for a high-top Dunk has been rewarded with a monumental\u003cbr\u003ecollaboration. The Beyond Dunk is a tribute to Alvar Aalto, an iconic modernist\u003cbr\u003earchitect who, unknowingly, became the pioneer of modern skateboarding,\u003cbr\u003ewith the creation of the first documented freeform pool in Villa Mairea,\u003cbr\u003eFinland (1939). In this pool, curved lines replaced traditional straight edges.\u003cbr\u003eFrom here, American architect Thomas Church visited Aalto’s Villa Mairea in\u003cbr\u003e1943. Church, influenced by Aalto’s work, in turn turned freeform pools into a\u003cbr\u003eCalifornian status symbol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA drought in the mid-1970s led to the emptying of the iconic kidney-shaped\u003cbr\u003epools, revealing the rideable curves and lines to skateboarders, and modern\u003cbr\u003eskateboarding as we know it was born. Thanks to Alvar Aalto’s organic\u003cbr\u003eapproach to form, skaters discovered an entirely new way to ride in the curves\u003cbr\u003erevealed by the emptied pools, creating \"lines that never end.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Beyond Dunk embodies Scandinavian functionalism and Alvar Aalto’s\u003cbr\u003earchitectural finesse. The sneaker's birch-tone Swoosh nods to Aalto’s iconic\u003cbr\u003efurniture, whilst the outsole highlights the rich red brick favoured in his\u003cbr\u003ebuilding designs. The high-top heel panel reflects the signature blue glazed\u003cbr\u003eceramic tiles seen across Aalto’s most famous sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnderfoot, Nike SB’s usual skate-ready tech is all there, including Air Zoom\u003cbr\u003eUnit for impact protection, the foam midsole for a lightweight, responsive\u003cbr\u003ecushioning, and the rubber outsole with classic pivot circle for the addition of\u003cbr\u003edurable traction and heritage style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Honouring Alvar Aalto’s design philosophy, we wanted to create a minimalist\u003cbr\u003esneaker that stays relevant for decades to come. The white sneaker has been at\u003cbr\u003ethe pinnacle of style for 50 years and will remain there for the next 50.\" - Juho\u003cbr\u003eHaapala, Beyond Store\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nike SB","offers":[{"title":"6.5","offer_id":55608360731000,"sku":"8663482","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":55608360763768,"sku":"8663483","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":55608360796536,"sku":"8663484","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":55608360829304,"sku":"8663485","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":55608360862072,"sku":"8663486","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":55608360894840,"sku":"8663487","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":55608360927608,"sku":"8663488","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":55608360960376,"sku":"8663478","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":55608360993144,"sku":"8663479","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":55608361025912,"sku":"8663480","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":55608361058680,"sku":"8663481","price":134.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/4293\/7933\/files\/001196362.jpg?v=1784903260","url":"https:\/\/www.routeone.eu\/products\/nike-sb-beyond-dunk-high-pro-qs-skate-shoes-white-ivory-sand-dune-blue-void-001196362","provider":"Route One","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
