Patterns aside, though, the Nike-Dunk X Cassette Playa does deliver on its promise of tallness, it being a shoe that towers at almost a half of a foot at its highest. It starts off from what might be described as an advantaged point, height-wise, thanks to its it rather high sole, which adds at least an inch, if not more to its overall height. Of course, the Nike Dunk High Premium is not a boot, and most of the height it is associated with is created through 'upper body' design considerations (which created 'illusions of height'), rather than that just elongating the shoe endlessly. In this regard, the shoe starts off with quite a long flat region on its front (where the toes are supposed to go in), but then gains a remarkably steep gradient towards the center which -as would be expected, peaks at the tip of the 'nose' of the shoe (where the shoe meets the wearer's foot-shaft), before somehow abating from that highest point towards the back, so that the very back point is slight lower than the very mid region at the tip of the shoe's tongue.
My particular pair of the Nike Dunk X Cassette Playa is primarily black (as most cassette players were, one would say), though in keeping with Nike's established liberality with color, a number of other color elements do make a showing on the shoe, including blue (which is what makes up the circular 'cassette player element') and red - which graces a few patches here and there on the shoe, and finally yellow, which has the 'honor' of adorning the very back end of the shoe.
