There is a growing category of dope Nike Dunk SB Low´s that catch our eyes and pockets with leaked photos, but never make it to retail shelved for one reason or another. The Nike Dunk above is the original design of the Nike Dunk SB Low Mosquito, but after an extremely limited production run, the shoe didn’t make, most likely due to some sort of legal issue. Obviously, this version is very different compared to the recently released Mosquito dunk, which has a range of materials from a speckled mid-sole, perforated leather and 3M. The above version consists only of leather and buttery suede. These might wind up on Ebay at some point in time, but you will never see these on retail shelves.

During the Spring of 2009 Nike SB is set to release a Nike Dunk Low SB tribute to the old Goofy Boy skater style. The Goofy Boys of the early 90s typically wore extremely long colored denim shorts with a equally long colored T-Shirt and a flipped up brim hat. Bringing that flavor to the Nike Dunk SB Low, the Nike Dunk SB Low “Goofy Boy” features a Purple denim trimmed upper with Orange nubuck at the toebox, mid panel, heel, and tongue. An illustration of a Goofy Boy appears on the footbed as well.

As part of its 2009 Spring Collection, Nike will be releasing this exclusive colorway of the Nike Dunk Low CL.

This particular Dunk features a plethora of colors. Even the sole is divided into two colors (black & white). The upper consists of orange, varsity red, and brown.

As stated earlier, this is just one of many Nike Dunk colorways releasing in Spring 2009.

In 2009 the Dunk from Nike will be dropping in so many colorways we can’t even begin to count, here we have a preview of a mere ten of the Nike Dunk Low 2009 Releases.

The colors chosen for the Dunk Lows are mostly simple colorways, most noticeable is the Jordan-esque Black/Varsity Red, which should at least cure the need for the “Bred” colorway for at least one weekend out of next year, though most of us could probably pick up a new pair in that colorway a couple times a month at least. The other eye-catching feature of these releases, is the gum bottom that appears on so many. The gum bottom seems to be a love/hate type of feature, but I think the OG sneakerheads always welcome it’s return.

With the number of Nike Dunk SB’s that have been released, it seems that the color combination’s would have run out by now, but Nike seems to always have a little something new up their sleeves. This 2009 Dunk from Nike Skateboarding has surfaced, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Charcoal/Red”.

This drop might have Nike SB back on track, it’s a simple colorway featuring charcoal, and a red swoosh, but what really catches my eye is the other material on the upper, a dark safari-like print really offsets the charcoal and red in a nice way.

Just when you thought the Nike Dunk SB was headed for retirement, Nike Skateboarding drops some heat.

The Nike SB group of designers must have a tough time getting various shoes into retail doors, first it was the Nike Dunk SB Low “Freddy Krueger” and now it’s this Nike Dunk SB Hi “Heaven’s Gate” that have made their way to the sampling stage but not product shelf. This Nike Dunk Hi Pro SB was inspired by “Heaven’s Gate“, a religious group that is best known for committing mass suicide in 1997, where 38 members were found dead all wearing the same exact outfits which happened to include a brand new pair of Nike shoes on each of the member’s feet. The Nike SB team decided to take various points of inspiration from the religious group and apply it to this Nike Dunk Hi but it seems various powers to be at Nike may have shut the project down as the shoes never hit Nike SB retailers in the Fall 2008 season like they were supposed to.
