NOW VIEWING ALL Nike SB UPDATES

“Chirping Bird” Dunk Low By Larry Perkins Available Saturday, March 20th

The web has been blowing up with rumors on the “Chirping Bird” Dunk Lows ever since a few samples leaked out a few months back featuring an insane design and a tongue loaded with a special computer chip that makes a noise when squeezed.

Well, we’re here to set the record straight and let you know that Black Sheep homie and North Cacka’s own “Lil Playa” Larry Perkins is the real mastermind on one of the most anticipated Quickstrikes from Nike SB in a loooong time. That’s right, LP is back baby and he’s still trying to come up!

Featuring a Larry Perkins inspired design of all “murdered out” black denim, black fur lined collar, a tonal black patent leather Swoosh, white heel tab, and red outsole, tongue tab, and heel labeling. LP is pretty notorious for his prank phone calls to skate industry heads, so rumor has it that the tongue might actually ring like a cell phone when squeezed.

The Larry Perkins Dunk Low will be unveiled on Saturday March 20th at 11:00 am.

In the meantime, check out a sneak peak and this rare FREE LUNCH interview of the legend himself as he drops knowledge on his past, his new dunk, breaks the current ollie world record, and challenges Chris Cole to a game of S.K.A.TE. Also, here’s a Bonus throwback Larry Perkins interview from the May 2002 issue of Big Brother magazine.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Palm Tree” Available Saturday March 13th

The first of two March Nike SB Quickstrikes, the “Wallenberg Palm Tree” Dunk will be available on Saturday, March 13th at 11:00 am.

The colorway for this Dunk Low was designed by artist and designer extraordinaire, Bob Kronbauer as a tribute to a famous skatespot in San Francisco, CA– the Wallenberg stair set, and a little Palm Tree that has grown at the spot and appeared in notable Skate Mags and Videos over the last 20 years.

Bob drops some serious knowledge on the inspiration for this design on his blog MUMBLE. In Bob’s words, “The colorway draws a palette from the palm tree itself while utilizing hemp for the Swoosh. The white midsole represents the step and has a visible “waxed ledge” around the top of it, just like that step at Wallenberg. Lastly, the insoles each contain a pixelated image of the palm tree itself, giving a nod to all of the times it has appeared in skate videos over the years.”

A pretty cool concept behind this one, and a timely drop with the approaching St. Patrick’s Day Holiday as well.
