Montreal’s famous bagels are the inspiration for Nike’s sneakers.
It is not clear if anyone was asking for a Montreal bagel-themed sneaker or not, but here we are, with the news that the footwear giant will release the Dunk Low Montreal Bagel in January.
It looks a bit like a bagel and a lot more like we, as a culture, have officially run out of good ideas for sneaker designs. beige is what it is in other words.
The shoe is partially decorated with sesame seed motifs and has a blue swoosh, which Nike explains as “an extra shout out to the city from la belle province.”
The shoelaces are white and someone in Nike’s marketing department missed a real opportunity to claim they look like cream cheese. The brown substance on the soles of the shoe is often compared to New York Bagels.
