Nike Dunk Air Force 1 “Dunkle” Hybrid

Sneaker connoisseur Chi McBride with his near limitless access to the Nike vault relives a classic in hybrid form. Taking the Nike SB Dunkle upper, he throws it on an Air Force 1 sole. The end result is quite near the original Dunkle form with the trademark chunky 1 inch Air Force 1 sole.

    im confused on this one i mean a Dunk and an AF1? I just dont know about it… i mean the shoe looks FUCKING HOT but at what cost? i think we should’ve consulted Bobbito Garcia before this mash-up.

    it so sad to see you sneakerdorks crying over a pair of old ass dunks.the ones hugely affected by this article are the ones who do not own a pair and the ones who dont give a shit are those who rock and trash their dunks.

    If it is indeed CHI McBride (It’s only an ankle shot) then they are more than likely legit,Nike and Jordan Brand seem to love this dude,he gets alot of one offs’ and hybrids customized,He’s a pretty acomplished actor,and I think he has a tight relationship with Michael Jordan,(the Chicago thing)

    I am really feeling the dunk/dunk hybrid design, unfortunately, I just believe the Dunkel was the wrong Dunk design was used

    looks a lot like the Supra Vaider shape, long tounge with those ‘wings’ going out the side

    art mixed with bullshit airforce equals more bs wtf is nike doing to itself omg ahhhhhh!

    unlikely that they are fakes…those claming that the details are off must have a fucking hi-ass resolution shot or something…anyways, if you know CHI MCBRIDES shoe game, you wouldnt think these are fakes….

    Dunkle? AF1? Classics? How dare he? Trashy? Someone shows an ounce of imagination and dares to go outside the box and everybody crucifies him. at least he’s not drinkin the kool aid like most of y’all… u sheep!!

    crazy swap

  20. Posted by: PAUL on October 22, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    Worse remake, can NOT be called the DUNKles if they are not DUNKS! AF1’s are trashy looking anyways, only hoodrats collect them!

    WACK idea!! GREAT execution!! I still prefer the OG Dunkles. 1 of my top five SBs EVER.

    Bk is right…It’s a fake dunkle. just look at the details and compare it to the original one. the sneaker head knows….

  25. Posted by: matt on October 22, 2008 at 11:51 am

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  26. Posted by: Stewie on October 22, 2008 at 11:13 am

    this is freakin stupid. I saw these as fakes the last time i was in china, so not original. good for you that you copied some fakes. loser!!!!!

    THE WRONG SHOE TO FUCK WIT FIRST OFF.
    ALSO A BAD HYBRID ATTEMPT?

  28. Posted by: nullified on October 22, 2008 at 10:51 am

    how do you know they arent fake? and learn not to use caps the ENTIRE FUCKING SENTENCE. looks like they may be fake, just because every sneaker site has posted these doesnt mean they are not fake. example: those shitty air yeezy that were red were in fact FAKE…..maybe dude wanted some fucking height on his short self so he slapped a 1 inch sole on that shit and called it a day. who knows?

  29. Posted by: Taylor on October 22, 2008 at 10:37 am

    Dunk + AF1 = NO.

  30. Posted by: CAZ DE UNO on October 22, 2008 at 9:20 am

    THAT ISNT A FAKE FIRST OF ALL, SECOND THAY MAY VERY WELL BE ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS YOU COULD DO TO THOSE KICKS ,BUT HE’S PAYED SO HE DONT CARE

  31. Posted by: R0BERT on October 22, 2008 at 8:07 am

    Horrible

  32. Posted by: BK on October 22, 2008 at 7:36 am

    I will say it’s ok as it’s a fake dunkle that he destroyed

  33. Posted by: projectplayground on October 22, 2008 at 7:14 am

    agree with dragon – this is an absolute abomination. Undermines a classic.
