Nike Dunk High Pro SB "Brut"




Release: September 2007

$180 Size 9

The Nike Dunk High Pro SB "Brut" Silver is another shoe included in the Gentlement’s Package. Nike SB decided that shaving is a good, clean thing to do and have been trying out different aftershaves and colognes for sneaker inspiration. This pair was dubbed Brut because it takes after the well- known, strong smelling after shave, Brut. The shoe, in the same sense, is strong in that it attracts people and draws attention to itself. The tomatillo-green parts of the shoe are made of suede, and the heel is black leather. And to top it off, a flashy silver Nike swoosh!

Nike Dunk High Premium SB "Shoe Goo"




Release: September 2008

$140 Size 10.5

The Nike Dunk High Premium SB "Shoe Goo" was released in September 2008 as part of the Nike SB collection. Rumored at first to be a premium edition shoe, fanatics were very pleased when these became part of the Nike SB family. They are based on the product Shoe Goo, which skateboarders frequently use to keep their kicks in one piece after a hard day at work. They feature a red and blue color scheme, along with a unique clear gum midsole. The upper is constructed from a treated canvas, as well as crinkled patent leather. The highlight of the shoe is the yellowed, translucent midsole that give the shoe an old skool look.
