Dutch artists include the likes of Vincent Van Gogh, and the more sneaker and street friendly artist ?Parra?, who put Amsterdam on the map within the sneaker community. Parra was originally commissioned for the Capital Series in 2005, and his first design sported an orange\/blue colorway for Holland?s Albert Heijn supermarket. Before the release of the AM 1 however the supermarket chain changed their colors and Parra followed suit accordingly producing the ?Amsterdam? AM 1?s that we all know and love.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>#1 &#8211; Nike Dunk SB Low &#8220;Paris&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Ooh la la, Paris, fondly known as the city of lights, love, and Pepe le Pew, was the inspiration for one of the most exclusive and stimulating vacation-destination kicks to date. Featuring the iconic artwork of the late Parisian painter Bernard Buffet, not only were these kicks numbered to 202 pairs, but no two are the same. Originally released for Paris fashion week, the Paris Dunks were never unveiled due to intense demand from art enthusiasts and sneaker heads alike. Colette and Opium were among the select few to resell their pairs, and since, the Dunks with Parisian sensibilities have become one of the most sought after sneakers do date. It has become cheaper to fly to Paris than to scoop a pair of Paris Dunks, so do yourself a favor and hop on a transcontinental flight.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the previous Sneaker Geeks features here: <a href=\"\/sneaker-geek-video-game-inspired-senakers\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Video Games\/Gaming Systems<\/a>, <a href=\"\/sneaker-geek-movie-inspired-sneakers\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Movies<\/a> and Cartoons<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sneaker Geeks series is back in full effect.
