Nike celebrates a special 10-year anniversary Saturday with the release of the Dunk Low Premium SB "De La Soul" design.

Call it a special encore performance for Nike and hip-hop group De La Soul as a way to celebrate with a fresh low design that is sure to catch the eye.

Here are the release details to know, via Nike.com:

The above Nike.com link goes in-depth on the path of the legendary hip-hop group, which started with the classic album 3 Feet High and Rising and inspired the original shoe from which Saturday's release draws its inspiration:

"

The result was 3 Feet High and Rising, the group’s classic debut album that largely bucked hip hop trends of the day in favor of a sound one could only characterize as more peace medallion than dookie gold chain. Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove and PA Mase (aka Plugs 1, 2 and 3) eschewed the typical braggadocio-style of rhyming from that era with a more laid-back leftfield approach, simultaneously expanding any perceived limitations in hip-hop as well as the audience make-up of those who listen to it.

"

The influence is easy to see.

A mix of "Safari" and "Baroque Brown-Altitude Green" won't go unnoticed anywhere, and neither will the vinyl holographic uppers featuring the cover art of 3 Feet High and Rising.

HYPEBEAST offers a closer look at the outside of the kicks:

SneakerNews.com offers a look at the bright colors out in the wild:

Sneaker Bar Detroit goes full circle with a view from the back, a top-down approach and a zoom on the laces:

Call the brown suede upper the perfect complement to the bright green accents on the laces, legendary Swoosh and the midsole, forming one of the most vibrant offerings of the year so far.

It's not just vibrant, but versatile—the low design is just quiet enough to accommodate any setting, but strong enough to place on a skateboard, too.

Like the original and other editions since, the Nike Dunk Low Premium SB "De La Soul" sets the bar high for sneaker-music mashups, both in innovation and comfort.

The legendary mixture acts as a trendsetter once again Saturday.
