New pictures of the Nike Dunk SB ‘Shanghai 2’ have been revealed at Sneaker Freaker. Here’s a description from Sneaker Freaker: “Most of the shoe’s color is inspired by the steamer of Xiao long. Stretch leather and wooden color, cause the steamer is made of bamboo. Due to the delicious oily juice in xiao long, it always and easily get dirty/oily. We use oily leather to present that effect.
