Nike SB has just launched its ICON x ICON mini-site featuring a really interesting visual history/ time line of Nike Skateboarding footwear to highlight its latest Custom Series of shoes designed by Eric Koston and Brian Anderson. The site also features video interviews with BA and Koston discussing their respective shoes, additional video footage, a photo gallery, free downloadable wallpapers, and more.

Nike SB ICON x ICON Pack and Quickstrikes Available Saturday, June 12th

The long awaited ICON x ICON Pack and June Quickstrikes from Nike SB will be available on Saturday, June 12th at 11:00 am.

The ICON x ICON Custom Series features two shoes specially modified by Pro Skaters Eric Koston and Brian Anderson:

First up in the ICON Custom Series, Eric Koston took the Dunk Low (Blue Ribbon/ Metallic Vegas Gold/ Varsity Red) and added a memory foam collar and heel locks, extra lace protection, and a softer gum rubber outsole to improve the shoes skate performance. The colorway takes it’s inspiration from the flag of Koston’s native Thailand.

Koston’s Quickstrike has been dubbed the “Thai Temple” Dunk High (Metallic Gold/ Metallic Vegas Gold/ Team Red) and the colorway is another tribute to his Thai heritage. It features metallic gold and red accents reminiscent of the colors found in Thai Temples.

Next, Brian Anderson redesigned the Blazer from the ground up for his ICON x ICON Custom Series– chopping it down to a mid top design and adding a cup sole for added durability. The result is the Blazer CS (Black/ Orange Blaze) available in a SF Giants- inspired black suede with an orange swoosh.

Finally, BA’s Quickstrike takes a nautical spin with the “Captain” Blazer CS (Midnight Navy/ Varsity Maize) featuring a midnight navy upper and an extra thick embroidered yellow Nike Swoosh reminiscent of the stitching on a Navy Captains hat.
