Nike Dunk Mid SB "Donatello"



Release: Spring 2008

$180 Size 10.5

These Dunk Mids are modeled after the colorway of the TMNT “Donatello”, brown for his shell, green for his body, and purple accents from his signature color. Thats right, Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now has his own Dunk SB Mid. Another nickname for them is the Hulk 2, but in my own opinion they match Donatello from TMNT more.This is definitely interesting if you are a cartoon fan.
