Origin: The 'Reverse Papa Bear' is a direct descendant of the 2006 'Papa Bear' Dunk High, a standout from the original 'Three Bears Pack' known for its furry uppers. This 2021 iteration cleverly inverts the color scheme, offering a fresh perspective on a beloved design. The shoe's lineage also connects to the 'Pelle Hat,' a vintage Air Jordan hat owned by Steve Pelletier, a former Nike SB senior product line manager, which served as a color inspiration.
Construction: The 'Reverse Papa Bear' boasts a premium construction, primarily featuring a tumbled leather base complemented by suede overlays. Dark Purple leather defines the toe box, side panels, ankles, lining, and tongue, while Wheat suede graces the mudguard, eyestays, and heels. Additional components include a padded mesh tongue, a Zoom Air unit in the heel of the sockliner, oval laces, and a suede Swoosh for enhanced comfort and performance.
Utility: Designed for both skateboarding and casual wear, the 'Reverse Papa Bear' seamlessly blends functionality with style. The inclusion of a Zoom Air unit in the heel of the sockliner provides superior cushioning, making it more comfortable than the standard Dunk. The durable rubber outsole, colored in a matching dark purple, ensures excellent traction, whether navigating the streets or executing complex maneuvers on a board.
Influence: The 'Reverse Papa Bear' has cemented its status within sneaker culture, as demonstrated by its impact on professional athletes. Aurélien Giraud, a prominent figure in skateboarding, was seen wearing the shoe during the Men's Olympic Street Finals held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2021. This appearance underscores the shoe's relevance within the sport. The shoe's design, inspired by Steve Pelletier's vintage Air Jordan hat, has also cemented its status in the sneakerhead community.
