Here are your Mork and Mindy Nike Dunks.

Mork and Mindy was a TV show where Robin Williams acted the fool as an alien from planet Ork. His character was a cross between an early Balky Bartokomous, totally un-super Super Man, and socially challenged Alf. His trademark rainbow suspenders briefly became a mainstream fashion item while the show catapulted Robin Williams into super stardom.

I noticed the gold swoosh on gold leather, which is a reference to Mork's spacesuit. The rainbow soles are also a great touch.

Gabriel Dishaw’s “Junk Dunks” are sculptures of totemic Nike Airs made out of consumer garbage.
