ALL DRAW WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED BOTH LOCAL AND STATEWIDE.  THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED!

This set of Nike Dunk Highs pays homage to Michigan's rich basketball history.  The Midnight Navy / Maize Dunk High was one of Nike's eight "Be True" schools back in 1985.  Although it wasn't part of the original "Be True" program, the White / Pro Green Dunk celebrates one of the most dominant programs in the NCAA.  Through our series of projects with Notre, we've taken this classic shoe and highlighted how it has transcended into our subcultures over the years.

The relationship between Premier and Notre began with the Dunk. As Notre co-founder and Grand Rapids native MJ Jaworowski tells it, it was catching a glimpse of a pair of SBs at a hockey game that got him hooked on sneakers and lead him to a job at Premier working for co-founder Eric Blanding.  These features began rolling out this week with the Premier session at the Brewster-Wheeler Rec Center. We’ve captured this multifaceted project with a risographed zine printed by Grand Rapids’ Issue Press, which will be distributed with all pairs of Michigan and Michigan State Dunks sold by both Premier and Notre this weekend. It includes features on Michigan-based creators like Hamtramck Ceramck and Cliff Skywalker, a focus on DIY skate spots throughout the state, and more.

Alongside the Dunks and zine, we're launching the Premier "Pleasant Peninsula" private label collection.  The collection features heavyweight crews and hoodies with dense embroidery and screen printed t-shirts featuring Michigan's state motto.  "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you"
