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 Low Premium SB "Mosquito"





Release: November 2008



$140 Size 10.5



This pair of Nike Dunk Low Premium SB’s have been dubbed the "Mosquitos." They feature a combination leather, suede, and patent leather upper along with 3M reflective material. The speckled midsole is an added bonus, and helps add to the beauty of the shoe. These were a Quickstrike release at select Nike retailers in November of 2008.
