On this Nike Dunk SB Low Premium, the Nike SB team has employed an eclectic color-blocking theme that has been showcased on numerous silhouettes from previous Dunks to Nike Air Max 90s.

One can often go astray and overdo it when applying copious amounts of color to a shoe. However, Nike paid attention to detail and utilized subtle tactics to create a loud but sound sneaker. For example, the yellow and purple contrast stitching aptly compliments the outsole and laces, respectively. No worries for you timid ones out there, the Nike Dunk SB Low Premium “Green Spark/Hoop Orange” can definitely be pulled off especially with Halloween just around the corner.

Once it became official that skate superstar Eric Koston signed with Nike SB, a lot of sneakerheads’ minds began instantly racing, wondering what a Koston signature SB model would look like. As you’re aware, it takes time to create a new model from scratch, so to tide fans over, Nike SB has decided to give Eric his own Nike Dunk Low colorway in the meantime. As you can see, the shoe sports a solid Royal Blue upper with a Metallic Silver Swoosh and additional Red accents on the lining, midsole stitching and outlining the Swoosh. A white midsole and gum outsole finish off the design, helping to give it a classic, yet eye-catching appearance. The original pics appeared to have a Metallic Gold Swoosh, so it’s still uncertain which will be the final version, but either way, the shoe is expected to drop in June of next year, so stay tuned for more pics and info in the coming months.

There have been plenty of animal-inspired Nike SB releases. The latest in that category is a Nike Dunk SB Low Sample with a feature we have never seen before. No, we are not talking about the furry material on the sockliner that was a major part of the Three Bears Pack, but rather, something you can’t see. It’s the tongue. Not like all newer samples, it has a mix of a thin and fat tongue and if you press into it, you will hear a bird chirping. Take a look at more photos of these plus a video detailing the sound, all if you check out that link, then stick with NewKicksOnTheBlog for more info on these.

This latest edition has a bunch of earthy tones just in time for fall. They range from black and brown to several tones of green. Brighter notes of orange and yellow tie in the theme and make us wonder if it’s too early to grab the rake. There are also rumors that these are the Nike Dunk SB “Toxic Avenger” that’s been redesigned several times. In any case, these should be dropping soon, so we’ll keep you updated.

We gave you a peek at this upcoming Nike SB Dunk release, but at the time, the inspiration behind the shoe had still not been revealed. Now it appears that these kicks have been created to pay tribute to Will Ferrell’s beloved character from the 2004 comedy, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The Red suede upper is a nod to Burgundy’s name and his sweet newsman anchor suit. The pattern that appears on the tongue and around the ankle could perhaps be based on the lining that might be found inside a funky 70’s suit. Additional accents are provided by a White midsole and toe box and some splashes of Gold and Tan. These are expected to hit Nike SB accounts in August.

Today we got a look at an exciting new Hemp Dunk SB model that is apparently waiting in the wings for a release later this year. The original “Hemp” Dunks from 2004 are now regarded as classics and with five years passing since their release, it seems like as good a time as any to bring the concept back for more. This version gets a little more complicated than the originals, which sported the hemp material on the shoe’s entire upper. This version throws in more additional accent colors and also breaks up the color blocking with a combination of orange suede and hemp on the upper. These kicks also feature an orange midsole, as well as a black Swoosh and some splashes of brown and red on various sections of the shoe, including the spotted lining. These are currently slated for a Holiday 2009 release, so we will be sure to keep you up on the latest info regarding this eagerly anticipated drop.

Rumor is that this Nike Dunk SB model was inspired by last summer’s superhero blockbuster “Iron Man” and was possibly intended for a summer release to coincide with the opening of the movie. Obviously, for whatever reasons, that never happened, but now we get a look at what could have been. Images of this sample version have recently emerged, and as you can see, while the kicks do sport Iron Man’s trademark red and gold, a healthy dose of black leather was also used on the upper to tone down the look some. As far as we know, there are no plans to ever release these, but with an Iron Man sequel currently in the works, Nike SB will certainly get a second chance to make them relevant, so we will let you know if they decide to drop the Iron Man Dunks after all.
