We aren’t sure where the inspiration for these dunk low pros comes from but one thing we are sure of is that they resemble the Superbowl Air Force 1s who color way also featured orange and black in the same places. The tiebreaker between the two has to be the purple denim used on the upper. Another cool thing about these shoes is the insoles. On the insoles is a picture of a skateboarder who is coincidently wearing an orange t-shirt and purple shorts. No info on release date yet.
A designer with the handle lakebay2 on NikeTalk recently posted a pair of custom Nike Dunk Highs linked
A closer look at the photos below show the hours of work that lakebay2 poured into these kicks. The designer played his technique close to the vest on NikeTalk (I doubt it is genuine snakeskin) but he did a great job of showing the shoe’s reflection off the light just behind the camera. You can see some shine coming from the black snakeskin on the heel as well as the black/white/gray snakeskin on the remainder of these Dunks.
My lone criticism of the Snakeskin Dunk Highs is the use of neon green laces. As someone on NikeTalk suggested, these Dunks would benefit from a pair of black laces to match the snakeskin effect. On the whole, however, lakebay2 did a great job in recreating snakeskin on these size 13 Dunks.

Just in time for Christmas Nike SB will be releasing this Red and white dunk high.It was originally said that these were going to drop next April but I guess the color way influenced the release date. Not only did the release date change but the quality of materials used changed as well. They were originally slated to be a premium release but will release as a regular dunk high pro. The upper is completely red except for the white swoosh and the white area around the heel. The midsole is also white lined with red stitching and the side panel behind the swoosh is perforated. This is also one of the many Sbs to not have been given a nickname. Wheter you think they’re Christmas themed of even Cinco De Mayo Highs, this marks the second year Nike SB has released a Christmas colored shoe in time for the joyous day.. Maybe this is the beginning of a new Holiday Tradition. Look for these to hit stores sometime around mid December.
Solebox and New Balance have teamed up once again on the 1500. This sneaker is dubbed the “Nazar Eye” and features a black upper with grey suede and mint accents.

Kevin Hunter and Mayor are big Nike Air Force 1 collectors. Nike has honored these two collectors with their very own special edition Nikes. These are not for sale to the public. They are one off sneakers which may never be made again. Kevin Hunter and Mayor received their special sneakers which were designed by the Nike Innovation Kitchen.
Kevin Hunter received a Bentley inspired Air Force One. This red colored shoe has been inspired by Kevin Hunter’s Bentley. The Bentley features are closely emulated on the red shoe. The toe box and mudguard are in different types of leather to provide a contrast in the grains. The midsection has the Bentley “B” flying through on a pair of wings. The midsole and outsole are made of thick gum.
Mayor has a special edition Air Force One to honor him. This is his 1000th pair and Nike has lasered one thousand figures of “1” on the shoe upper. The shoe upper has an interesting mix of colors. The shoe upper is beige while the “1” is brown. The Nike swoosh is cream colored. The midsole and outsole are in beige colors which are complementary to the shoe.
