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.

A few weeks back, images emerged of a Gucci-looking Nike Dunk Hi Supreme that featured some ostrich skin leather and a gum sole. As happy as people were to see it, it really just made most of them long for the feverishly anticipated Quickstrike re-release of the Nike SB version that much more. To the delight of many, it looks like it’s finally going to happen this winter and here are some sample pics of what the shoe will look like. As you will see, there have been some slight changes made to the ultra-rare 2005 edition.

The 2009 version will feature less fraying around the edges of the denim and also uses a smoother leather on the upper. Also, the new release will sport a fatter tongue, SB laces and a black heel tab instead of a red one. You can see some more photos of the Nike Dunk SB Hi Pro “Gucci” Quickstrike as well as a side by side comparison with the original if you check out that link. Stay tuned for more info on the release as soon as further details become available.

While Nike SB will finally be releasing the long awaited Nike Dunk Hi SB Premium “Gucci”, it seems that Nike Sportswear will try and one up their friends in Nike SB with this Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark in Team Green, Challenge Red, and Black otherwise known to many as the “Gucci” colorway. While the Nike Dunk SB uses denim as their fabric of choice, this Nike Sportswear Supreme Dunk Hi Spark uses a mixture of Ostritch-like leather and another exoctic leather on the Swoosh. Last but not least to make it even more appealing, the shoe features a Gum outsole. This Nike Dunk features a Nike East Football mascot on the shoe’s insole. Rumor is this shoe is a part of the Nike East vs. West collection that Eddie Cruz and DJ Clark Kent worked on. This Nike Dunk is scheduled to release in October of this year.

Back in 2006 Nike SB planned to release a pair of Nike Dunk High SB “Gucci” colorway as a quickstrike. It was originally be a part of the team manager series and designed by Girl Skateboards. Unfortunately, the project was scrapped due to some issue inside the Crailtap group. As a result, there were only less than 30 pairs sample existing in the market.

But in the forth quarter of 2009 we will have this Gucci Nike Dunk SB Hi back into the market. The shoe is the same color scheme as the 2006 sample with black denim toe cap and heel cap, deep forest toe box and side panel, and red swoosh.
