SNEAKERNEWS.COM EXCLUSIVE
The skateboarding team over in Beaverton has put the Nike Dunk through some interesting and questionable changes; while the alterations may better fit needs of skaters, to general wearing public lamented the decision to remove the fat tongue from the Nike Dunk. Another change that might ruffle a few feathers is the removal of the ankle strap of the Nike SB Dunk Mid. This upcoming colorway in a unmistakable black-white-gum is one of the first un-strapped Mids that are set to drop as part of the Nike SB Holiday 2010 Collection.

April 15th, 2010 at 7:25 pm

April 15th, 2010 at 7:35 pm

April 15th, 2010 at 7:43 pm

April 15th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
I’m no skater but I like these as a nice clean look to rock with some shorts on a nice sunny day in the 510
April 15th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING NIKE?!?!?!?!
FAT TONGUE… GONE!
MID STRAP…. GONE!
STOP IT WITH THE HIPSTER MADNESS!
April 15th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Not bad, dat gum bottom is what sets em off. Possible cop
April 15th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I will buy these though… only because they are the first mid with no strap. History kids History.
April 15th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
booooorrriiinng
April 15th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Ya these wud be better with the straps. I mean it IS what seperates them from the lows and highs. Or they cud keep the strap off and make it high.
April 16th, 2010 at 12:27 am
They triedto do the mids like this a looooong time ago and it failed.
Why bring it back?
I like the straps better.
April 16th, 2010 at 12:47 am

nsb what the fuck is wrong with yall first no fat tounge then no strap on mids no cop for me until the come with strap
April 16th, 2010 at 3:20 am

April 16th, 2010 at 3:20 am
werent these supposed to be dunk highs?
what the fuck is this shit?
April 16th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Pretty weak IMO
April 16th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Nike stop this non-sense….first the whole flat tongue and now no straps….thats blasphamy…u might as well take the strap off the Air Force 1 high’s…even better how bout u u just take the forefoot strap off the Air Trainer 1 while you’re at it………..gosshhhh
April 16th, 2010 at 10:07 am
i don’t even skate and i like my mids w/ straps. no nike tag on the back hurts the shoe. the colorway is fresh though.
April 16th, 2010 at 10:41 am
They take away from the sneaker and still charge the same price!

“allways strapped when i hit the club”
weezy was talking about sb’s….
Weezy was talking about being strapped with a gun, you idiot..
April 16th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
weezy talks about alot of shit that he doesn’t really do.
April 16th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
all they do is get caught with weed and guns and go to jail and call that gangster. they aint shoot nobody or sell nothing but they talk like they live in the bronx when they in the fckin hamptons dancing w/ lindsey lohan and miley cyrus. fck rap and everybody involved. usher is more hardcore than yall niggs….even tiger is.

people need to stop bitching and start looking at the shoe. forget that this model used to have a strap. look only at this shoe. do you like how it looks? that should be the basis on which you judge kicks. i bet some of these hypebeasts bitching on here all the time about straps and fat tongues will be on this shit when they give it a stupid name…
i think that these shoes are kinda interesting when you judge then independently of other shoes. the swoosh does look bigger than usual and the gum soles look dope to me. the only thing i’m not feeling is the mid sole. i think it has too much white. it could have used some black contrast stitching or the upper part of the midsole could have been black or something.
April 16th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
i also thought these were supposed to be the dunk hi eric koston’s. they are basically the same thing just shorter. but i do love the gum sole, and the whole strap didnt matter to me anyways so ill probably get them.
April 17th, 2010 at 12:46 am
this is bs first with skiny tounges now this
April 17th, 2010 at 12:50 am
i like u sb fuckers can suck a cock cuz i lovee da fat tugues and i “loveeee” the mid straps if you take the strap away you will loose alot of buyers
April 17th, 2010 at 9:51 am
@ 25, I think dr dunk knu that. That’s just how much the good dr loves the strap, as do I. The color way is nice, better hi tho…
April 18th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
YEAH!!!!…THE OG ROSS DUNKS ARE BACK…IN MID FORM
…COPPING 10 PAIRS..
April 18th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
i dont skate but am a nike sb collector.
without the strap the mids arent mids it
makes them different. but who knows
release a new colorway of mids one
strapped one unstrapped and let the public
decide. but if not, keep the strap nike. it
makes the mids unique from the highs and lows.
April 19th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Bring back the strap, and these are way way to similar to the dunks mids that dropped in january, I hope nike sb isnt running out of of colorway ideas
April 20th, 2010 at 4:19 am
man i love these cause of the basic look, and UNSTRAPPED FOR SURE
April 24th, 2010 at 12:27 am
I have to agree with sean ill cop these but only because their the first strapless MID sb’s. (history people)
i aint gona lie when i say these r pretty sick
but the stap was what gave the dunk mids its unique look..without it whats left o_O
>BoSs<
April 25th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
Nah mids NEED the strap.
May 16th, 2010 at 12:19 am
ill cop these but only because their the first strapless sb's
These are pretty sikk but the strap was what made
the dunk mids unique, without it whats left o_O

all of you guys bitching about no strap are faggots. nike is actually making shoes for skating now instead of style. these are simple, clean, have some ankle support and no annoying strap to get in the way. they look great to skate in
October 23rd, 2010 at 2:54 pm
not the first
