Nike Dunk High “Maestro 1” Design
The glossy pair uses black patent leather with “I love you even if I don’t know you” written near the lateral heel and a silhouette portrait of Batiste on the tongue. “Glow Shine Fly” runs across the heel, and a cloud painting by Batiste’s wife, Suleika Jaouad, is printed across the insole.
The second pair swaps patent leather for a matte black finish with silver pearls scattered across the upper, keeping the same tongue portrait and insole artwork. Packaging built specifically for the project features piano keys and another Batiste portrait, with matching shoe bags carrying the same design.
