These are close-up preview shots (after the jump) that we got of the super-special Nike Dunk Electrico that won’t be fully and officially revealed until tomorrow in Sao Paulo. Nike appropriately picked the famous half-Brazilian, half-Japanese tattoo artist and jewelry designer Jun Matsui — who was born in northern Brazil but spent most of his time in Tokyo before moving back to his home country, a story not so uncommon from where I’m writing this post — to lend his design skills and mark the 100th anniversary of the Japanese immigration to Brazil. He’s come up with a sleek brown leather shoe, with both Japanese cultural symbols and his own signature glyphs in gold (such as a ferret and rat). Four hundred signed pairs were made and, yep, will be sold only in Brazil and Japan.
