The upcoming Nike SB Dunk High Premium “Skunk” was unveiled yesterday and is already one of the most talked-about sneakers of this entire year. Its inspiration makes you wanna giggle and not just because it’s ironic to see the Swoosh push the envelope in this direction. Turns out that one of our particularly astute readers was on the right track when he commented “Bratrud does it again.” That’s because today, with these new images, it’s been revealed that this is the latest design from longtime Nike SB collaborator Todd Bratrud. Take a look at the various shades of green suede you will be getting when these drop in April, presumably right around the 20th. Combined with purple accents and a hidden stash pocket under the tongue.

Here are some extra images of a Premium output of the Nike Dunk High SB, set to drop in Spring/Summer of 2010. These would look familiar if you happened to read one of the Nike SB 2010 Preview reports. The colorful Coogi sweater-like graphic is actually wool material, something Nike SB seldom uses, so consider that an added incentive to pick up a pair. 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 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.
