The Nike SB Dunk Gore-Tex has a simple design. Its biggest promise is being a waterproof shoe. The Gore-Tex tag said that it is guaranteed to keep the wearer dry. I’m not sure if that has influenced the design but this simple style is welcomed nevertheless. Sneakers that are waterproof will be in high demand in autumn and winter.

The shoe’s colorway is in light grey. It has white as an accent. The toe box is plain and is surrounded by a high mudguard.The tongue is broad and allows a bigger expanse of shoe lace to be seen.There is a panel of leather that is attached from the base of the heel and this meets the collar around the ankle of the sneaker. The Nike swoosh is rather long as it stretched from the midsection and goes all the way to the heel of the shoe. The back tab has the Nike brand name and a small section of quilted leather below it. The midsole has two layers and is white on the upper layer and light grey on the lower layer. The inner lining of the shoe is white and completes the look nicely.

Sneakers by Sean has produced some great tributes to New York City in recent months including a pair of New York Yankees Dunks I highlighted earlier this week. He also produced a pair of custom Shaqs in honor of Eli Manning, Michael Strahan and the rest of the New York Giants. These special Shaqs were found at the Customsnkr.com post linked here.

The shoes start out with a basic red/blue colorway to represent the Giants color scheme. Sneakers by Sean added the NY logo found on the team’s helmets on the toe boxes as well as middle panels. The designer also painted “XLII” on the heel to represent the numerals for last year’s Super Bowl.

While I am a Packers fan and I was disappointed in their loss to the Giants in the NFC Championship, I can get behind the New York Giants Shaqs. The team was a Cinderella story as the playoffs started and the simple touches on these Shaqs are appropriate for Tom Coughlin’s hard-nosed team.

Before the publicly available $2000 Air Force 1 07 Lux, there were these. Very few pairs of these exist and they cost a good penny to make. They were seeded to important Nike celebrities and influencers. One pair was auctioned off at a Sole Collector event in the NYC Niketown and they went for $5000.

The Carmelo Anthony’s Signature Jordan Melo M4 will be the lastest signature shoe to get a China exclusive edition. Where LeBron and Kobe have both done special colorways for the Chinese market, Jordan will produced the M4 with the Chinese market in mind. The upper features who looks like a wood grain material along with a line pattern on the heel.
