In a visitation back to its foundation as a college bred performance basketball sneaker, Nike introduced the Rivalry Pack. Sourcing out the biggest fanatics, team players and athletic departments at three colleges, the end result was a product highly reflective of the colleges at hand. The three schools memorialized include Syracuse University, University of North Carolina and Georgetown University. These Dunks were honored with a special dinner where select guests were each gifted with a pair, most likely creating an insatiable envy amongst the schools biggest fans.

Earlier this year Nike released the Be True Collection where the classic Dunk Hi’s were treated to look vintaged. Another Dunk Hi in a sail/black colorway has just been released as part of the Nike Vintage collection. As always these shoes are made to look worn-in, with stained laces and yellowed soles.

We have recently seen a “Michelangelo” inspired Nike SB Dunk Low sample, another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle inspired Nike SB Dunk has emerged on the Net. The new Dunk Mids are modeled after the colorway of the TMNT “Donatello”, brown for his shell, green for his body, and purple accents from his signature color. These are now available in Asia, and is scheduled to release in North America in the Summer. This is definitely an interesting pack to look out for if you are a cartoon fan.

Nike pays homage to Syracuse University with what we assume is a special NikeID version released exclusively to select members on campus. The blue/orange upper consists of a patent leather and ballistic nylon upper with Orangemen emblazoned on the rear in a Terminator-esque style.

St. Pauli’s free-thinking movement which originated in the 1980s created a special sort of kult club for the Hamburg based football team. Despite a yo-yo history between the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga, it was club policies such as the banning of right-wing nationalist displays at their home games which would cement St. Pauli in the football world as a club devoted to more then just the sport itself. To commemorate the efforts of the club, Nike has created a special two pair pack which will release in mid May.The Dunk Low will be exclusive to Germany, Austria and Switzerland while the Dunk High will see a bit wider release across Europe.
