Virtual Mo x Nike iD Dunk Low “Mo-Bama”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 12, 2008 A couple weeks ago we posted artist Virtual Mo’s MøBama edition sneaker on Ryz Wear. What some of you may not know is the Virtual Mo’s Labyrinthine Projectionâ„¢ work has been in the marketplace before. Mo Morales aka Mø worked on the lasered Air Force 1 Mids from several years go and also caught the attention of Michael Jordan to do the lasered image of MJ’s face on the back of the Air Jordan 20 Low.
Mø is a proud Obama supporter and chose Barack as the theme for this pair of Nike iD Dunk Lows that he worked up. The back heel features Obama’s birth year and the in and out side panels are laser etched with “HOPE” and “2008″. Lastly and unmistakably, Obama’s portrait is lasered onto the toebox of the Dunks in Labyrinthine Projectionâ„¢ form. Mø ordered the lasered Nike iD Dunk Lows, but just the colors and year was not enough to satisfy. He then added lasering to the toe box and other pieces of the shoes himself. I am sure Nike’s PR and legal team wants it to be well known that these are not endorsed by Nike, Inc., Barack Obama, or the Democratic National Committee…gotta love lawyers.
