The Nike Blazer SB “Made for Skate” is one of the most limited Blazer’s released by the Nike SB camp to date. This pair is limited to 24 pairs worldwide and features a huge toe cap on the front of the toebox. The colorway used on this pair of Blazer’s is very dope and brings back some retro/80’s era of skateboarding for some of us. Some additional details include the wording on the inside of the tongue which reads, “For Skateboard Use Only Not Designed for Other Activities”. Additionally the insole of the shoe features a nice graphic that matches the exterior of the shoe.

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.

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.

Although the pics are surfacing just as the holiday buying season begins and the colors evoke a Christmas theme, these Nike Dunk SB Hi Premium aren’t affiliated with St. Nick. Instead, they’re releasing around next Easter, April 9, 2008 according to SneakerNews, who’ve dubbed these “Soda Cup“. They posted the pic on their blog along with this release date so that we can all get excited. The rich red upper has suede on the toe and rear panel/wing and perforated leather toebox, tongue, side panel and sole. A white swoosh, heel and midsole, green laces and brown lining give all that red a nice balance. We will keep you posted as more pics surface.

Nike Skateboarding made Nike Dunks for Marge and Homer Simpson, what’s to say they aren’t going to do the same for Family Guy. Here is a new pair of Premium SBs slated for 2009 release that bare the name “Quagmire” because the rear panel/wing and side panel are a bright red with yellow embroidered stars just like the shirt worn by the sex-crazed character on Fox. At first glance, this might look like a patriotic pack, so we’ll keep an eye on these to see exactly when the Nike Dunk SB Hi Premium “Quagmire” drop.
