Tiffany Nike Dunk SB

Tiffany Nike Dunk SB

Casino Skates have informed us that the highly anticipated Tiffany (Diamond & Co) Nike Dunk SB should be in stock in approximately 10 working days. This is astonishing news as it was widely expected for the release to be in August as stated in the Nike SB release calendar. As always it isn’t a confirmed delivery as Nike are famous for missing their shipment days, but this is still welcomed news. Along with that Casino Skates will be carrying a full range of Nike SB Team Managers Series clothing will be available on 18th July.

Supreme Moda

Supreme Moda

Found these on 5D. Looks like Supreme has done it again and came up with another great concept for a shoe. This shoe reminds me of the Lakai Staple. It has a low-profile look but at the same time it will break necks. The Supreme Moda comes in three differnt colors. Tan, Grey, and Brown. Check them out!
