Nike SB Dunk High “Gucci” Colorway

by L.A. Ruano, March 15, 2009

nike sb dunk gucci colorway r Nike SB Dunk High Gucci Colorway

Originally scheduled to release back in 2006 as a Team Manager Series SB, Nike reportedly scrapped their plans for a “Gucci” themed Dunk High due to several complications within the participating skate camps. With less than 30 pairs in existence, they’ve quickly become one of pricier SB’s on the market. Three years later, it seems like Nike SB will finally release these beauties to select SB accounts, tagging them as a premium quickstrike drop. A release is expected in the fourth quarter of 2009. Further information should arise in the coming months.

    We might be the east coast’s most slept on SB spot- no lines for Tiffany’s, Heinekins or the Quagmires and we probably will a mellow day when these arrive. I’m over the Gucci coorways but a denim release is always welcome.

    ain’t bought a pair of dunks in years but I cannot deny the materials and colorway combination
    unbelievable. nike will probably go cheap on the material and ruin them though. if kept exactly the same i might buy 2

    great colour way. feel sorry for those who cop these before the general release.

  88. Posted by: Tommyq on March 15, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    damn…first good colorway SB has come out with since they started with the black boxes.

    still have no faith in them however, since this is an old ass sample rather than a new colorway they came up with on their own as of late.
