H-Town Sneaker Summit Summer '11

 

Sneak Of The Week

The Sneak Of The Week is the Nike SB Skunk Dunk High. In 2004 Nike SB set the sneaker world ablaze with the release of three colorways of the SB Hemp Dunk Low including the mahogany red, cascade blue, and the ever elusive bonsai green. The release coincided with April 20th a notorious holiday in cannabis culture. Now six years later Nike SB serves up a reprise of the Hemp Dunk Low  serving up their big brother. Behold the Skunk Dunk High designed by Todd Bratrud who is no stranger to Nike SB’s Dunk Highs with his previous hits; the Send Helps and BaDunka Dunks. The Skunk Dunk High features a fuzzy tonal green upper with orange and purple accents. The insole features an illustration by the artist of the shoes inspiration, that green skunk. The Nike SB Skunk Dunk High is a Quickstrike release that will release in limited numbers at select Nike SB accounts. While Quickstrike releases do not usually hold a firm release date, many shops are choosing to hold a celebratory release of the shoes on 4/20.
