Nike Blazer Premium SB "Blood Splatter"





Release: October 2009


$100 Size 9


Nike SB will be getting in on the fun with this spooky edition of the SB Blazer High. As you can see, the shoe sports a White suede/canvas upper that has been badly “stained” by a gory blood splattered design. Additional accents are provided by a Grey suede Swoosh and Grey toe cap as well as some more touches of Red on the tongue label, heel tab and lining, but let’s be honest that it’s hard to notice anything but the blood graphics on the upper. Even though these might look like the aftermath of a skate session gone horribly wrong, they manage to still pull off a fresh look.

Nike Blazer Premium SB "Swoosh Life"




Release: July 2009


$100 Size 10.5


For Nike-heads, this shoe says it all. For many, “Swoosh Life” is the only life, and Nike has chosen to recognize that dedication with this fresh pair of Blazer Premium SB’s. These hit Nike SB retailers as a July Quickstrike in 2009. The shoe sports an off-white upper with a gum midsole and a Hot Red Swoosh. These come with both Black and Hot Red laces for the look of your choice, and of course the main focal point is the “Swoosh Life” embroidery that graces the upper heel panel of both shoes, as well as on the insoles.

Release: December 2009
$100 Size 11.5

The Nike Dunk SB is coming back to its roots with a simple yet clean colorway for its SB series. This Nike Dunk Low SB comes in an obsidian/black colorway. Digging into the Gino archives, this pair of Dunks rocks a black perforated side panal and toebox with obsidian suede through the shoe. The grey suede swoosh adds a really nice touch to the shoe, matching with the outsole which sits on a white midsole. The back Nike logo is placed against a black canvas panal, making the shoe full of detail.
