KOBE BRYANT x ERIC KOSTON NIKE SB EVENT RECAP (VIDEO)

Eric Koston Nike Shoe Release Media Day from Skateboarder Magazine on Vimeo.

An event I missed...some interesting and historical things that went down.  Check it out now.

NIKE SB DUNK PRO BOOK 1985-2011

That's right a whole book dedicated to an iconic sneaker...dope packaging.  The book covers the evolution of the shoe.  DOPE!!!

NIKE DUNK PRO SB RED/WHITE SPRING 2011

I might need these...

The entire outsole was redesigned, giving it an improved tread pattern that played off the original cupsole. Also, the cupsole was completely cored out, saving weight and bringing the foot lower to the board. The midsole was replaced with the lightweight and flexible cushioning material phylon.

The last item to get checked off was helping the shoe’s fit. That was fixed by moving some of the internal seems near the toe, thus eliminating pressure points.

There is a video that shows these.

NIKE SB DUNK LOW PREMIUM " YELLOW CURB"

One of the December SB drops, as a skater then you should know about "yellow curbs".  You can grab these at Kasina.

SUPREME NIKE SB 94

These may have a NYC theme but Supreme is very much accepted and supported in Los Angeles skate culture.  Peep it out:

“Supreme’s design language speaks to (and about) New York. It’s an early ’90s theme, a series of skate influences that reminds O.G.s of the “good old days” and builds a mythology for those too young to have been there. The lines Supreme’s design team uses, while rooted in that rearview vision, are modernized in a way that takes the product beyond nostalgia, and they have helped the brand build a streetwear category uniquely its own. This holiday, it works with Nike SB on an original silhouette, specific to Supreme.

“Our main thought was to create a newer version of shoes that New York skaters would have appropriated before there were real skate shoes, and combine that with other iconic basketball shoes from the time,” says Luke Meier, the lead designer on all Supreme SB collaborations. Foamposite material on the heel sets this shoe apart, and lines that pay homage to the classic Jordans give the silhouette a timeless feel, but the final result is anything but derivative. The new Supreme shoe is truly a city skate shoe: slimmed-up and clean enough to look presentable, but poppy enough to rock in the street. Welcome back to NYC.”

BEN G x NIKE BLAZER HI SB

A special SB for the Amsterdam skate shop, pretty subtle but colorful all at once.  The white leather with the black corduroy swoosh is enough really.  These will hit select accounts sooner or later...keep an eye out.

NIKE SB ZOOM PAUL RODRIGUEZ IV "AKUMA"

So off the heels of the the Chun Li and Ryu Nikes, we get one for Akuma...but for P Rod's signature shoe.  Check it out.

NIKE SB BLAZER HIGH BLACK WASHED DENIM

Blazer SB October 2010 drop, black suede and washed black denim look.  Simple and clean.  You can pre-order here.

NIKE SB DUNK HI "TECATE"

It's obvious that our society loves alcohol...especially beer.  Earlier I posted the Dos Equis x KAWS collab bottles, and now we have an SB Dunk influenced by Tecate.  They drop this month and you can grab them here if you desire.

NIKE SB P-ROD 4 HI SPRING 2011

Just a sneak peek at the upcoming...pretty clean if you ask me.  I've never been a fan of his shoes however these are pretty cool for a non-skater like myself.

NIKE SB x POETS NYC BLAZER HIGH

I know it says NYC but they caught my attention while cruising HighSnobiety:

Nike SB got together with Gino Iannucci’s skateshop Poets NYC to collaborate on a Blazer High Premium. The perforated suede upper comes in an obsidian colorway, complemented with a canvas Swoosh. The Poets NYC lighthouse logo is embroidered on the heel. The sneaker is now available from Zeropolis.

NIKE SB DUNK LO "SAFARI" FALL 2010

Not to be left out, the Nike SB drops a purple colorway for the Fall 2010 lineup and gives it the Safari treatment.  I can dig these here.  Hit your favorite SB dealer to get a date on your calendar.

STREET FIGHTER x NIKE SB

These are dropping very soon...I thought a few of you may be interested since we all pretty much grew up on Nike's and Street Fighter.  More details to come in the future.

NIKE SB DUNK LO "CHROME BALL INCIDENT"

Following the high top style, we can now offer you a look at the “Chrome Ball Incident” Dunk Low from Nike SB. While the highs were inspired by the Airwalk Enigma, the colors of this shoe follow in line with the colors seen on Neil Blender’s chromeballincident.blogspot.com. Look for these near the end of the month. - via HighSnobiety

NIKE SB ICON x ICON: ERIC KOSTON & BRIAN ANDERSON INTERVIEW (VIDEO)

 

The two talk about their shoes and the development of them.

NIKE SB JUNE 2010 DUNK HI - SOLAR ORANGE

New SB's for June, pretty interesting choice of colors and materials.  Flatspot got an early drop on them if you want them.

NIKE AIR x PAUL RODRIGUEZ: COMMERCIAL (VIDEO)

Paul and Nike usually team up for some cool commercials...so without watching this one first, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.  Peep it out.

BRIAN ANDERSON NIKE SB BLAZER MID "ICON x ICON"

Spotted at HighSnobiety:

Rad Collector columnist Blair Alley gets an early look at the new Brian Anderson Blazer Mid from the forthcoming Nike SB Icon x Icon series. “The iconic Brian Anderson reworked the iconic Blazer to his liking—it’s now got a customized midtop height and a cupsole instead of the usual Blazer vulcanized. [...] Rumor has it Koston has an Icon x Icon shoe in the works as well. Go Giants!” Look for these next month.

NIKE SB x HURLEY "DIRTY MONEY" DUNK MID PRO & BLAZER HI

Via HighSnobiety:

Nike SB and Hurley collaborated on the documentary film “Dirty Money”. The film tells the story skateboarding, its growth in the 80s and recent revival. Of course they also presented sneakers for the occasion. Nike SB showcased the “Dirty Money” Dunk Mid Pro and the “Dirty Money” Blazer Hi. Both come with a dollar sign lace lock. So far there is no word on the release, but we will keep you posted.

NIKE x ERIC KOSTON: DUNK HI "THAILAND"

These drop April 27th at select SB accounts.  These are pretty clean and a clean shoe that's also a classy ode to someone's heritage is always dope.  Eric Koston pays tribute to his Thai roots.
