Yeah, I'm not sure who told you that TET or whatever designed the shoe.. cause he didnt..
The Dunk SPD, has a cycling plate in it, with modified midsole and outsole. Its not like
a regular dunk, as its has a softer moulded Phylon (like the presto Dunk) side wall, not a Cupsole. In short, you get better pedal feel, more cushion. The models shown were specifically for the Olympics only, hence the proper shit colours. Good shit to follow..That whole paragraph was a quote from the Nike press release that i just cut and pasted, hence the quote marks

As a child growing up, the experiences brought on by riding his BMX and skateboard gave WTAPS founder TET an interesting outlook on life which manifested itself in WTAPS’ popular line of apparel and accessories. His experience in the realm of BMX made him an interesting and qualified candidate to design the Japan BMX Federation kits. The jerseys have strong links to Japan including the use of traditional fonts and a map of Japan.
Sod all to do with the dunks. But did do the Japan BMX apparel! Made by Nike!!
I'll get my Hipster coat and leave now...

Hey I have some yellow dunk hi-tops, I'm not totally un-hipster. I just never wear them, because they're dunk hi-tops. and they're yellow.

I think I prefer the mission workshop shoes... Much less chunky
"The Gyrizo, which is Greek for wheel..."
'gyrizo' is actually greek for 'i turn' or 'i revolve' - the greek word for wheel is something completely different! false advertising, tut tut... ; )
