New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

Well, Nike SB wants to ensure that you have at least a bit of the sophistication of a true world traveler, this new release from the Passport Pack serving as the JFK leg of your Concorde world tour. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro pictured above is designed after America’s passport book and just like the UK edition, apply golden accents to a textured tonal suede base. The implementation is a bit different on these with just a contrast stitch instead of entirely golden Swooshes like the UKs would these have been better with a bit more color? Look for these at Nike SB retailers.

Sneakerhead culture is wrought with simulacra and symbolic appropriation, this latest Nike SB custom something like the inverse of the most recent one we would seen. Whereas jwiz had taken the forgotten SF Muni thin-tongued Nike Dunk Low SB and made it into something closer to the Un-Supreme Nike SB Dunk Mid that just released. Cemeterydrive has gone the other direction and made the Stealth, black and Dragon Red design less ‘Un-’ and more Supreme-ish thanks to a run of Elephant Print markings on the tumbled leather overlay. Regular NewKicksOnTheBlog readers will remember this guy as the same who Elephent’d the Chromeball Incident Lows last summer. Which pair turned out better?

Since a sequel to last years Skunk Dunk was first confirmed by Todd Bratrud a few weeks back, we have seen a variety of teasers and imagined what the follow-up might look like.

While the joint theme seemed logical, at least from the limited sneak peeks that popped up, nobody could have seen this coming. While the majority of the upper sports a white canvas that we all know will give way to green suede underneath, the rear panel sports an unmistakable nod to Cheech and Chong and their stoner classic, Up in Smoke.

It appears that the heel of the left shoe will feature Tommy Chong’s red bandana, while the right shoe uses a material intended to mimic Cheech Marin’s ski cap. Too early to say from these pics, but it looks like possibly denim on the tongue and lining along with your choice of black or green laces. These are expected to release as a quickstrike on April 20th and are rumored to be limited to only around 1000 pairs, so stay tuned for more pics and info in the coming weeks.

The upcoming Nike SB Dunk High Premium “Skunk” was unveiled yesterday and is already one of the most talked-about sneakers of this entire year. Its inspiration makes you wanna giggle and not just because it’s ironic to see the Swoosh push the envelope in this direction. Turns out that one of our particularly astute readers was on the right track when he commented “Bratrud does it again.” That’s because today, with these new images, it’s been revealed that this is the latest design from longtime Nike SB collaborator Todd Bratrud. Take a look at the various shades of green suede you will be getting when these drop in April, presumably right around the 20th. Combined with purple accents and a hidden stash pocket under the tongue.

Is this upcoming Nike Dunk SB under the Witness Protection Program? First off, the “Chirping Bird” name has been changed. This upcoming Quickstrike has been renamed to Larry Perkins, the name of the skater that inspired the colourway. Secondly, the Larry Perkins Nike Dunk SB underwent a transplant as the Chirping Bird mechanism as been replaced by one that makes telephone ringing sounds, as Larry Perkins was known to be dialing up other skate-pros and magazines. The overall design, colourway and material use remains, but the identity has seen a vast alteration. These are expected to drop on March 20th at select Nike SB retailers, so have your local Nike SB spot on speed dial and lock down your pair.

When it warms up this spring, get yourself ready with this new Nike Dunk High Premium. Up close, the tri-coloured gingham upper is plain ot see, but from afar, the colours sorta blend into a melty blob of Paas. It is a fresh look for the upcoming warm weather, so the white Swoosh and midsole are appropriate, and the gum outsole is doing quite well on spring 2010 Nikes. These won’t be hidden for long, so stick with NewKicksOnTheBlog for updates.

Here are some extra images of a Premium output of the Nike Dunk High SB, set to drop in Spring/Summer of 2010. These would look familiar if you happened to read one of the Nike SB 2010 Preview reports.

We are sure an announcement regarding the availability will be made soon so stay with NewKicksOnTheBlog for the update.
