Late last year, Nike and sporting retailer Foot Locker opened the doors to the House of Hoops, effectively creating a one-stop shop for all things basketball. With Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse all under one roof, this exclusive store has become the launch point of some special products. Two upcoming Dunk High releases include Evil Kneivel and the NY Giants. Evel Knievel, known far and wide for his daredevil antics is featured on a white Dunk High, which includes red accents and stars around the heels. The NY Giants Dunk High is a tribute to the former basketball team which operated between 1885-1957. The colorway matches the same uniforms as worn by the Giants.

Unfortunately, unless you’re really close with Nike, you probably won’t be able to get one of these but there’s hope.
