Eric Koston x Nike SB Black/Gum Dunk Hi
Some of you may recall the Black/Gum Nike SB Dunk Hi that Eric Koston was seen holding in a picture that surfaced last month. A lot of the comments were mixed with some of you saying you had nothing but love for the Dunks, and others making note on how its a recycled design and nothing new.
Thanks to Hypebeast we can now provide you with a closer look at the SB Dunks. Few details are available on exactly when the sneakers will be released, or if they will actually ever be released, but as you can see there are currently three different samples, which all look exactly the same if you ask me. As we have previously reported, besides for the tongue being black, the colorway is an exact replica of the Nike Dunk High – Black/White/Gum.
When further details become available we will be sure to follow up, until then click here to take a look at some more shots of the sneakers and watch the interview with Eric Koston where he talks to Nike SB about his favorite Nike’s, the ugliest Nike’s and the SB Dunks shown here.
Nike SB November 2009 Releases
There has been a lot of confusion on what exactly Nike SB released this month. Some retailers online list pre-orders months before official releases and it has seemed to give some people a little confusion as what the Nike SB November 2009 Releases are.
Let us just make it clear cause soon we will be looking forward to the Nike SB December 2009 Releases. The month of November has brought us the Gucci/RESN Nike SB Dunk High as a quickstrike (not shown here), the Bloody Gums Nike SB Dunk High, a pair of SB Dunk Mids in a chocolate colorway, a team red/yellow SB Blazer made from suede, the HUF x Nike SB Blazers, an obsidian Stefan Janoski, a Zoom Air Harbor in black/white and lastly the Aquamarine P-Rod III.

NJ Skateshop x Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High
NJ Skateshop has provided us with a sneak peek of the upcoming Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High. The sneakers are seen sporting a color combo of grey, black, red and white with a red/white stripped pattern around the ankle and heel section. Due to the low resolution of the photo i cant quite make out at this time what exactly the material used on the upper is but the red Nike Swoosh almost appears to look like felt.
Although the sneakers are still in the sample stages NJ Skateshop has informed us that the Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High will officially release on July 4th, 2010. Keep it locked to Sneaker Obsession for further details and pictures.
Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High Pre-Order
Skate Mental, the company owned by professional skateboarder Brad Staba, and Nike SB are gearing up and getting ready to unleash a brand new collection on us. If you remember Skate Mental and Nike SB previously hooked up on a pair of Nike SB Dunk Mid’s back in 2007. For this collaboration the two brands have not only designed a pair of sneakers, they also whipped up a blood-stained hockey jersey, two graphic tees, two ‘Nike SM’ tees, 3-in-1 jacket and a backpack/blanket combo.
According to original reports the Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High is not set to release until sometime in December. However, we have just been informed that the sneakers are available for pre-order now at CCS. Judging by what we saw in the preview pictures provided back in March the sneakers keep the original colorway with a hazelnut suede upper and light blue highlighting the Nike Swoosh and liner. Light grey suede is included around the frontal and a white mid-sole with a brown outsole wraps up the bottom half of the sneakers.
If your planning on copping a pair of the Skate Mental x Nike SB Dunk High when they officially release in December let it be known you can pre-order a pair now at CCS. If you place an order before the end of November 2nd, you can save 15% off orders over $79 when you enter promo code LKS69T8Y.
Nike SB Zoom Tre ‘De La Soul’ Customs
Seeing as how i have been a long time fan of the Long Island bred hip hop group De La Soul it was a surprise to me when the De La Soul Dunks released in 2005 and i wasnt feeling them. When i first caught word of the collaboration i had a feeling the sneakers would be one of my grails, but once i caught a look at the sneakers it just didnt hit me like i expected.
Somebody else who can relate to this is sneaker customizer TWITCH. TWITCH says he always wanted a pair of De La Souls but since hes not a big Dunk head he wasnt about to break bread on an overpriced pair from a reseller. Instead he decided to create his own, on a base of his choice, the Nike SB Zoom Tre. TWITCH started off with the white/green/yellow SB Zoom Tre released in 2007 and gave the upper a complete makeover using the original colorway on the De La Soul SB Dunks. Besides for the super clean graphics included on the heel of the sneakers something else which catches our attention is the wood burning which TWITCH did around the ankle of the shoes on the green paneling. Wood burning is something which we have seen TWITCH adding into more of his customs and its defiantly a feature we dont ever mind seeing since TWITCH executes it perfectly every time.
