During Nike SB’s recent interview with Eric Koston we were provided a closer look into the Black/Gum Dunk Hi initially spotted back in late October. There still isn’t much concrete information on the sneakers but we do know that three different versions were made for testing during Eric’s skate sessions. Stay tuned!

    you all trippin, if you watch the interview he is just sampling what material is good for skating. he may make a shoe but i doubt it will be just like the venom and so bland as that!

    blue lobsters dropped pretty recently…so whats that tell us? you bought dunks fairly recent

    These are just plain simple sample shoes…did no one watch the interview…I doubt these will be released he is just testing the compound of rubber…which one he likes to skate on…but if these do release I’ll just go cop the venoms to much of this I think

    LOL @ Fox Joe, those Blue Lobsters came out in June. That wasn’t too long ago and those were ugly as f.uck! Makes me wonder what kind of hot shit you brewing up in that head of yours. Probably won’t sell even if you priced it at a buck.

    Marketing to the masses.. Reese forbes brought the freshness and had unique shoes. Those were the last kicks I bought from SB. The team is ill. The product is about Proffit Margin and taking away market share… It’s all business no flavor… They’ll turn over employees, buy up creative & collabs, but they best get back to the originals and start from there with some unique colors and collabs

    Nice to see some regular @$$ SBs but not excited for them at all. Guess Koston is trying to make some real money signing with NIKE, and he will too.

    i don’t see the hype in these but i like it.not too bright,not too colorful just plain old simple ass koston.I liked his Lakai’s too.I think koston should make a dunk low with a Fat Tongue!

    These are gnarly. For real.

    DOPE ! very simple, unlike these other brands thats trying to combine colors that dont go. smh .

    Sick skater…but annoying as hell, and shity personality… if he didn’t talk that would be cool

  11. Posted by:Fox Joe on November 26, 2009 at 11:34 am

    Are you F…..ING SERIOUS DUDE!!! You team up with SB to create trash that has been already been done. What a faker!! Maybe he wasn’t the creative mind at Lakai. Like I said before SB, hit me up for some hot shit. This is a joke. I haven’t bought dunks since blue lobsters dropped, c’mon!

    yo bobbyfish@yahoo.com, ur retarded. go on n hate on the man but it ain’t cool callin people gooks n shit. if u got a problem with Asians, get the fuck of hypebeast.

    Does it really take Koston to get sb to drop a nice, clean, simple dunk? Why do they think that the more colors the shoes has the better it is?

  14. Posted by:ghost. on November 25, 2009 at 11:09 pm

    i think they were made just so he can test what kind of rubber he likes.maybe they’ll drop but they might not.probly just for him.

  15. Posted by:mightyhealthyiwish on November 25, 2009 at 10:42 pm

    a great skater. for all i care, he can do wutever he wants. I hoped he would make the switch to sb way way too long ago like 04. he js seemed like hed fit in

  16. Posted by:Chris on November 25, 2009 at 10:00 pm

    It’s about time they released a reasonable colourway

  17. Posted by:chech on November 25, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    is this not the same exact thing as the arc dunks?

  18. Posted by:bobbyfish@yahoo.com on November 25, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    SELLOUT, SELLOUT, SELLOUT! THIS GOOK THINKS HE’S SO COOL.

  19. Posted by:EsPionage... ? on November 25, 2009 at 9:24 pm

    Don’t see all the hype around these Alife dropped the same thing..

  20. Posted by:btm on November 25, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    Nice

  21. Posted by:RtiFact on November 25, 2009 at 8:19 pm

    So there is still hope for Nike SB’s, but at that a slim hope..

  22. Posted by:Larry on November 25, 2009 at 7:50 pm

    these are very similar to the “venoms”.

  23. Posted by:$$$$ on November 25, 2009 at 7:46 pm

    very nice. first sb’s i’ve been excited for in a while. the white laces look so sick.

  24. Posted by:tyler on November 25, 2009 at 7:37 pm

    fuck i need those at the top

  25. Posted by:dedleg on November 25, 2009 at 7:37 pm

    Wonder what’s different between the 3 versions… must be more to do with the footbed / cushioning since they all look exactly the same.

  26. Posted by:D easy on November 25, 2009 at 7:25 pm

    BORING!

  27. Posted by:Bored on November 25, 2009 at 6:59 pm

    I love these simple color schemes.

  28. Posted by:mr.bonds on November 25, 2009 at 6:32 pm

    CLEAN.

  29. Posted by:mrh on November 25, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    but weiger already made a simple black n white dunk…… could’ve atleast changed black to navy, that wouldve been sick(er)

  30. Posted by:michaelp on November 25, 2009 at 5:15 pm

    clean

  31. Posted by:panda666 on November 25, 2009 at 4:58 pm

    why don’t Koston just go get some Venom SBs?…

  32. Posted by:jeypasta on November 25, 2009 at 4:43 pm

    Koston dunks ftw.

  33. Posted by:be. • TheLegendsLeague • on November 25, 2009 at 4:42 pm

    Fuck. this is what I’m talking about.. bring things back to simpler times.

  34. Posted by:backspace on November 25, 2009 at 4:31 pm

    its good to see that koston isnt forced to push a color pallet for the sake of making a new crazy color way
