While there was already a midtop version of the same model named after the city, surely Beijing is big enough for more than one Dunk. The Nike Dunk SB Low “Beijing” appears in an eye-catching mix of teal, purple and red with a few grey touches. The teal suede overlay features some interesting patterning, while the Swoosh’s red contrast stitching and a translucent outsole complete the look. These are limited and sure to rut out fast, so act quickly and cop them now from Univ.

This Nike Dunk SB Hi Premium is one of the more interesting Dunk’s from the Nike SB collection we’ve seen in some time. The Navy contrasted with the Red on the upper is brightened with the numerous Yellow stars sewn on the Red portion of the upper. Add the White midsole and Gum outsole and it seems like we might have another must have SB Dunk High on our hands. Update: This Nike Dunk SB Hi is actually inspired by the Family Guy character Glen Quagmire and should be in stores early 2009.

Here is a first look at some recently surfaced photos of an upcoming Nike Dunk SB Mid Premium that takes inspiration from what some might consider the greatest invention ever - the television. Taking this concept, the sneaker consists of a simple black/grey/light green colorway using a combination of suede and what looks to be leather behind the Swoosh. For those interested, these are expected to release in the first quarter of 2009.

Here is an interesting Nike Dunk SB Hi that made it to the production floor and unfortunately will stay that way. From what RIF LA calls these, they are perhaps inspired by mint chocolate chip ice cream. Had it been a full mint colored upper with black speckles similar to the actual ice cream texture, the shoe maybe have been on another level, but instead solid colors has been used. The upper features what looks to be premium leathers and suedes. The toebox and side panels, in black and mint green respectively, are in tumbled leather. The toe area and lower part of the heel is in a black suede, the eyelets are in a mint green suede and upper heel is in a black tumbled leather. Unfortulately they have been scrapped but of course you can cop them for a cool 2500 beans.

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.
