Since the unfortunately death of DJ AM, many have wondered if the Nike Dunk he designed will ever release. DJ Premier recently mentioned on his show that the DJ AM Dunk was still on schedule and earlier today Kasina confirmed this by surprisingly releasing them. This collaboration Nike Dunk features DJ AM’s logo on the tongue, black patent leather wrapping much of the shoe, red premium leather for the toebox, side panels and the upper heel while a light grey swoosh and a white midsole round out the shoe. A unique feature are the three rows of perforations along the heel with 3M underneath, similar to the dots of a Technics Turntable for RPM reading. We are sure an announcement regarding the availability will be made soon so stay with NewKicksOnTheBlog for the update.

The Nike Dunk SB High Premium “Skate Mental” features the same “NIKE SM” tongue tag that appeared on the Brain Wreck variant sample. That little something extra enhances the relatively tame brown/white/blue colurway, a palette you will find duplicated on the matching dual-branded coat and backpack.  You can get all your Nike Dunk SB High Premium “Skate Mental” kicks and gear at selected Nike SB retailers.

The number of Halloween-themed footwear releases is massive this season. Nike alone has set the holiday-inspired bar higher than ever with releases ranging from the new Day of the Dead Quickstrikes Pack to the Blood Splatter SB Blazer High. We already saw one ‘creepy’ Nike Dunk SB Low, and here is another. It is got the orange and black look down, plus the hemp underlay adds a nice rustic look for autumn. Grab the Nike Dunk SB Low Premium “Orange/Black–Sail-Hemp” a little earlier than the US release.

Taking cues from the original Gino Iannucci series, Nike SB offers a new Nike Dunk SB Low pairing Obsidian/Grey suede with Black perforated Leather and mesh. A White midsole and detailing tie the design together, wrapped as a present, and ready to be purchased by the SB faithful, although there’s still no indicator that the stuffed tongue from season’s past will ever reemerge. Available now at select Nike SB retail accounts.

The quote-unquote Gucci look has been one of the most popular colourways for this season. This is the second Nike Dunk High Premium to feature the combination of forest green, deep red and black. DJ Clark Kent’s version repped the East coast for the Rivalry Pack but this joint is a little more specific. Released by Nike SB, these were originally designed by Girl Skateboards in 2005 to drop alongside the Nike Dunk SB Low “Tiffany” by Diamond Supply.

Apparently Crailtap wasn’t happy that Girl would give such a dope design to Nike, given their own Lakai footwear label. They axed the project, but now we are getting an updated version for late 2009. These come with ‘RESN’ on the tongue tag, a shout to Girl’s Sam Smyth, who used to spray that tag for the IBC crew all over the Bay Area. You can grab the Nike Dunk SB High Premium RESN / GUCCI “Deep Forest/Paprika” in advance of the US release.

Nike Sportswear has collaborated with Cassette Playa out of the United Kingdom once again on this Nike Dunk High Premium that is a part of the Rivals Pack from Nike Sportswear’s Holiday 2009 Collection.

When you hear the word Nike followed by Day of the Dead, most sneakerheads will immediately think of the much sought-after Dunk SB version, but a new pack is on the way that will attempt to share in the success of the original. Now we bring you a glimpse of the Nike Dunk High installment of the pack. The shoe sports a Black leather upper and midsole with large sections of Purple skull-n-bones type graphics covering the overlay. As if that wasn’t enough, the kicks also feature a Poison Green Swoosh and lining with some bright Orange found on the tongue label and all over the contrast stitching on the upper. As an added bonus, the insole is also graced by a stylized skeleton illustration that fits right in with the spooky aesthetic of the Pack. If you’ve been kicking yourself for years for missing out on the first Day of the Dead Dunk, you will get your shot at these when they hit Nike Quickstrike accounts in early November.
