It's not a new design concept, but it's growing in popularity: ostrich leather, or faux-ostrich leather. It can be easily identified by the round dimples that look like a custom pattern etched in the leather. Nike did it a decade ago on a collaboration with Stussy. They did it again recently on an all-black Air Max 90 collaboration as well. Another brand noted for it's designs has used ostrich recently as well: Nixon. They currently offer an all-ostrich leather wallet and they used ostrich accents on their 2009 Exclusive for Barney's Co-op Magnacon. The latest installment of Nike's classic dunk is a pack consisting of several color-ways with an ostrich swoosh. Several sources reported on these dunks earlier this month, but a release date is still TBD. The last picture is of the dunk low white/gridiron/ostrich; this shoe was discovered more recently.
