Nike Dunk Low “Jack Torrance”

There are few horror films that stand the test of time. CGI improvements, the public’s growing numbness to violence, and the sheer volume of content affect the impact of old-school shock flicks. Films that were once shocking are no longer, but Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining doesn’t fit that mold. It’s slow, on-edge pacing puts the viewer in a downward spiral; Kubrick wants you to feel as Jack Torrance does — like you’re going out of your mind.

Jack’s slow trip into insanity is one of cinema’s most memorable moments caught on film. The passive-aggressive father, out-of-luck writer, and all-around unlikable protagonist gives himself up to the spirits of the Overlook Hotel and becomes even more unlikeable along the way; but still, after forty years, we still can’t look away.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but our new conceptual Nike Dunk Low “Jack Torrance” is anything but, bringing the character to life through a medium we know so well.
