POC are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 in America.
According to recent data from the CDC, Black and Latino people have been 3x more likely to contract the virus, and 2x more likely to die from it than their white neighbors.
The New York Times literally had to sue to get that information.
In today's political climate, it'd feel careless not to include this in our message. Especially considering the unreal support and momentum we've had from the original Stay Home Dunk drop.
I did my take on a #blackout version of the Stay Home Dunks. This time a Dunk High.
Just like all my releases, 2 pairs (one auction, one raffle), and not for profit.
All proceeds to BET / United Way COVID-19 Response Fund which supports small black community charities and their COVID relief efforts.
