Nike Dunk High SW "Un-Gucci"
$120 Size 8
Nike Sportswear has partnered with Record producer DJ Clark Kent and Undefected’s founder Eddie Cruz, challenging East and West to create their own Nike Sportswear footwear. The result is a collection that delves deep into the psyche of sport and present Rivalry as its essence. In this tempestuous collaboration, DJ Clark Kent and Eddie Cruz use Nike Sportwear’s iconic designs and innovative materials and remix them. The pair draws on classic collegiate layouts; adding their own trademark directional flavour. No doubt the green/red colorway reminds us the Gucci Dunk SB, however they are not the same. The upper of the DJ Clark Kent “Un-Gucci” Dunk features a green base with black ostrich leather surrounded. In addition, a challenge red croc skin swoosh. The gum outsole is made of 0.44 sticky rubber for better performance under bad condition.

Nike Blazer Premium SB "Huf"
$90 Size 6
When a sample of this HUF x Nike SB Blazer Mid Canvas was leaked onto the Internet and was thought to be just a Converse Chuck Taylor inspired Blazer Mid. HUF announced that this is actually a collaboration between Nike SB and the store/brand which comes in a capsule collection including a white base and black base HUF x Nike SB Blazer Mid Canvas, apparel and a set of caps. This will be the first time that a capsule collection is sold exclusive at the brand’s own stores outside of the Supreme Nike SB collaborations.
Nike Blazer Premium SB "Huf"
$90 Size 8
Let’s take a closer look at Huf’s collaboration with Nike SB. A *much* closer look. These photos give us a new appreciation for the simple canvas designs. A toe capped sample version drew comparisons to the immortal Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, but the Huf x Nike SB Blazer Mid Premiums in white or black dropped the rubber toe in favour of an entirely textile upper.

Nike Dunk Mid Premium SB "Asbury Casino"
$130 Size 10.5
The Nike Dunk Mid Premium SB – Asbury Casino (Island Teal / Mineral Yellow) were a bit of an enigma for a while, as we did not learn much about them until right up to their release date. They are inspired by the Casino located in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was a well known skate park, which unfortunately is no longer there, so these were dubbed the Asbury Casinos in order to pay homage to the park. They feature a black,gold, and sea green colorway. The color scheme is interesting, and may take time, but eventually does grow on you especially with small details like the yellow contrast stitching along the black portions, which definitely catch your eye

Nike SB Zoom Tre A.D. "New York Mets"
Nike SB Zoom Tre A.D. "New York Mets" sport a colorful palette that are sure to turn heads. Although not as popular as the Nike Dunk SB or Nike Blazer SB, the Nike Zoom Tre A.D. is perhaps the most technical of the bunch. As is incorporates plenty of features to help provide a comforting feel to skateboarders. The Shock Orange / New Blue colorway are actually modelled after the New York Mets colorway. Technical specifications include a full length phylon midsole, zoom air insoles for added cushioning, and a synthetic ultra durable upper that grip tape won't tear apart after a couple of uses.

Nike Dunk High Premium "Quagmire"
Arguably one of the funniest characters on the cartoon series Family Guy, Glen Quagmire is well noted for his perverted lifestyle. This pair of Nike SB's are by Glen and feature a red upper constructed from nubuck with yellow stars stitched in, representing his shirt. The blue seen across the upper is inspired by the jeans he wears. The white midsole and gum outsole are a really nice bonus.
Nike Dunk High Pro "Goofy Boy"
Before the ball crunchin' skintight jeans and flab defining tees that many skaters )and street heads) like these days, a majority of early 90's skate rats rocked the complete opposite - huge jeans and tees. Don't hate, it was the style back then. Nike SB paid tribute to that fad in the spring of 2009 with the release of Skater Boys 90's Pack.

Nike Dunk Low Pro SB "Crimson"
Release: April 2006
$130 Size 9
The Nike Dunk Low Pro SB "Crimson" white / varsity crimson (Orange Holland Dunk) features a white and crimson red colorway, hence the nickname. It is a simple design, and was not hyped up at all for its release. It does hold some importance though, as it was the first of the Nike Dunk SB’s to be ever be manufactured in Indonesia. The back heel tab is orange, and because of that, some people tried to dub it the Orange Holland Dunk, but it was never picked up.
Nike Dunk Low Pro SB "Bic"
$160 Size 9
Designed by The Greek, the Bics are a simple colorway consisting of black suede and yellow and white leather. The shoes got their name because of their resemblance to the Bic company logo. If you haven’t heard of the brand, Bic is known for their razor and pen products; a somewhat odd combination. The shoe is nicely complemented by a few grey accents to make an overall nice colorway.

Nike Dunk High SB "Wet Floor"
Release: June 2009
$100 Size 10.5
Nothing can turn up the heat on a Dunk SB model quite like a great back story and the Wet Floor Dunk certainly has that going for it. Nike campus custodian, Ian Williams, was lucky enough to talk Nike SB into letting him design a Custodian Pack based on some every day janitorial influences. Unfortunately only one of the three models that were designed was selected for production, but that’s still one more shoe than most of us will ever get to design. Support Ian and custodians everywhere with a fresh pair of Wet Floor Dunks.
