For some, the Loon Dunk Low SB marked something on the truly upper echelon of grail status. With it’s existence rumored at only a handful of pairs, it truly is one of those sneakers worthy of grail status when the term has been thrown around so liberally. Originally fashioned after the Minnesota State bird, the Loon Duck, this symbol can also be seen on the $1 Canadian coin (the Loonie). This bird’s colors proved to carry over quite well when it’s colorway was superimposed onto that of a shoe.
Although some my be hesitant to pick up anything from Nike SB, I truly believe that good colorways can transcend the shoe barrier and look good on almost any model and the Tre proves my theory.
