After whatr seems like a hiatus the
"Be True" chronicles are back with the
Ura dunk low and the
AKA dunk low. The
AKA Dunk Low was masterminded by
Allen Benedikt, founder of the graffiti magazine
12ozPROPHET. The seven Dunk set (Turned-On Yellow, Groovy Green, Hash Brown, Hot-Dog Mustard, Out of Site Orange, Groovy Pink and Moody Blue) was inspired by the aesthetics of Wet Look spray cans with only 5 sets in total produced.

The
Ura Dunk was released exclusively in the trend setting
Harajuku area and despite the low production numbers, the wearing of the
Ura became a great experience rather then a memento left to the confines of one's closet. From there on it set the stage for the Japanese Dunk explosion.
