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.

Nike SB Dunk High Premium “Bill Cosby/ Cliff Huxtable” Available Sat 02/20/10

The “Cliff Huxtable” Dunk High Premium will be available this Saturday, February 20th at 11:00 am.

This month’s Nike SB Quickstrike gets the “Cosby Sweater” treatment, a Dunk High Premium (White/ Black/ Wool) complete with white leather, black midsole and swoosh, and zany multi-color wool panels. The colorway takes it’s inspiration from Bill Cosby’s character Dr. Cliff Huxtable, and his trademark multicolor sweaters worn on the 90’s TV series, The Cosby Show. The style was also popular on other 90’s sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

We also have a few matching Nike SB tees that feature the same Dr. Huxtable multi-color fill on the logo. Come cop a pair and get your neo retro 90’s nerd on.

Taking a few cues from Stefan Janoski, looks like it’s back to basics for the latest signature shoe from Paul Rodriguez. The P Rod 2.5 (Black/ Black) takes the best features of P Rod’s previous models and slims them down into a super lightweight and functional skate shoe on a grippy vulcanized outsole. Available now in a low key Black/ Black Suede and also a sportier Quickstrike version in Grey Suede with Blue Swoosh.

Quickstrike- Nike SB Dunk High “Oceanic Airlines”

Just arrived, the second installment in the “Lost” pack paying homage to the cult TV Show’s final season. The “Oceanic Airlines” Dunk High (Germain Blue/ White/ Chlorine Blue) takes it’s inspiration from the colors of the ill fated plane that crash landed and stranded the cast of the TV series.

Hard to tell in the photo, but the shoe features a very O.G. Charlotte Hornets- esque color scheme– a fresh combination of premium suede in Germain Blue (purple) on the toe, mid-panel and upper ankle along with a contrasting Chlorine Blue (teal) midfoot and heel flap. A white tongue, liner and Swoosh match up with the outsole. The “Oceanic Airlines” Dunk High is topped off with insoles depicting a flight chart with the destination and departure cities (Los Angeles and Sydney) for the show’s crashed plane.

All suede dunk highs are what’s up, and these things have to be seen in person to really be appreciated. “This shoe goes hard!”

Quickstrike- Nike SB “Lost” Blazer Linen

Just arrived, a brand new Quickstrike from Nike SB- the “Lost” Blazer (Linen/ White/ Black). Some pics recently surfaced online of the upcoming “Lost” Dunk High featuring colors from Oceanic Airlines plane that crash landed and stranded the cast of the popular TV Show Lost on a mysterious island. However, this Quickstrike Blazer has remained under the radar (no pun intended) up until this point.

Also part of this pack, the “Lost” Blazer has surfaced and features a tan upper in premium linen, white linen swoosh, and a clean white sole. In addition, each back heel panel and insole is emblazoned with the single word “Shoe.” The materials and colors were inspired by flight jumpsuits worn by the characters, and the “shoe” is a reference to the generic labeling found on some of the DHARMA Initiative food items on the show. A great looking Blazer whether you are a fan of the show or not.
