Nike Dunk Low Pro SB "Gibson Guitar Case"





Release: January 2008



$180 Size 9



The Nike Dunk Low Pro SB "Gibson Guitar Case" Light British Tan / Metallic Gold took its design cues from nothing else than a vintage Gibson Guitar case. Although not an official collaboration among the Nike SB and Gibson Guitar, these are rather very creative design and marketing. The upper is a rich, aged brown leather with camel accents. Inside is the fuzzy pink plush just like the inside of the vintage case. To take things another step further the insoles of the final product have coins and crunched up dollar bills – two things one would commonly find in an opened Gibson guitar case sitting on the steps of the pawn shop.

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.




Nike Dunk Mid SB "Moat"



Release: April 2008

$150 Size 10.5

The Skatepark of Tampa has gained a great deal of recognition for their annual Pro and Amateur competitions, bringing the best skaters in the business to Florida. During these annual events, they hold a tradition “Moat” race which involves tons of dedication and having a strong stomach. The race takes place in murky Floridian waters complete with diesel run-off and snapping turtles. To celebrate this event, Nike SB has teamed up with Barak Wiser of SPOT to produce a very limited run of 100 Moat Race inspired Dunk Mid’s.

Release: August 2008

$140 Size 10.5



Nike Dunk High Pro SB "Unfutura" consist of a blue, grey, and black color scheme and along with the contrast stitching definitely help to add character to the shoe. They sport a suede and leather construction and have been dubbed the Unfuturas for their strong resemblance to the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Futura. They were released a while ago by the UK based skate shop Mischief and we actually learned of them from there. A few weeks later, they made their way to retailers here in the states.


Nike Dunk High Pro SB "Un-Heavens Gate"

Todd Jordan is the Nike SB Skater that designed the Heavens Gate SB Dunk that was suppose to release Fall 2008. Nike wasn't felling the name or inspiration so they scrapped them from the Fall 2008 line up and replaced them with the "Unfutura Dunks." Summer of 2009 Nike SB offered a very similar Dunk thst resembles the highly hyped Heaven's Gate Dunk. The Un-Heavens Gate Dunk will serve as a great substitude for the HG Dunks.
