New York City is the sneaker capital of the world, a tourist destination with nearly as many sick boutiques as iconic landmarks. Somewhere in the middle is this new Nike SB Dunk High ‘Statue of Liberty’ in green leather to match Lady Liberty’s patina-covered copper build. In one preview it seemed that this leather was done similarly to the Slam City SB Dunk Low and a few others with wear-away layering but these new pics seem to suggest a more traditional material. In any case a green leather hightop is sure to attract plenty of attention as February’s Quickstrike Dunk SB so click through for more and stick with Sneaker News for word on the release date. via N-SB

I've been anxiously waiting for these to become available. Instant cop for me!

This is a completely different shoe, from the last post which showed the toebox worn away to see the bronze of the statue. After seeing these pics, I am not as excited….

February 9th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Nice, first sneaker to get better with time…
February 9th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
The original picture with the warn out "copper" coming through was much better. and this laces dont even match the shoe.
February 9th, 2011 at 2:17 pm
the samples with the layered leather will prolly be on ebay for bookoo depending on how these sell. I want some of those samples!!!
February 9th, 2011 at 2:26 pm

February 9th, 2011 at 2:34 pm

These go hard.. the color way is hard. if you from ny you gotta get these
February 9th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
the green wears away and the copper shows through when you skate them! dear god. if you dont skate, use some very light sandpaper and wear the green off in the spots where you want the copper to show through
February 9th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
WOW pass… don't change it when it's doing well.
February 9th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
I loved the original concept with the layered look. Please do us all a favor NIKE and release what we "sneakerheads" really want. *I am hoping these are just a fresh pair in the pic and time will reveal the copper underneath.
February 9th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
Lol! I cant skate to save my life! Just wanna be fresh and pretend!
February 9th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Does anyone know for a fact that, when the leather wears away, it reveals a bronze like appearance? Or is this just spectulation?
February 9th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
they arent even the same color as the statue of liberty.
February 9th, 2011 at 4:39 pm
For all you people complaining about the copper….YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY WEAR THE SHOE IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE COPPER…
February 9th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Such a dope color. Instant cop.
February 9th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
I like these but, they need some different laces.
February 9th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
word the samples were still better (in my opinion)
February 9th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
=O dunks of the year lol
February 9th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Bet of you if skate em the copper material is still on the top, kind of like te vandal highs non sbs a few years back!
February 9th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I think it would be sick if the stitching was that bronze color. I liked the wear away effect on the samples, but these are still dope.
February 9th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
aqui en mexico ya salio y se termino en 4 dias!!!! in mexico the released was this las friday and all of them sell it in 4 days!!!
February 9th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
they werent samples, they're still going to be copper underneath the green that shows through when the upper is scratched. ill be copping these along with Bordeauxs this year, those are my two for-sure pick ups
February 9th, 2011 at 9:13 pm
OMG with white laces these #win
February 9th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
NEED THESE.
February 9th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
Wow come one people, think about this one for just a second.
The sample pictures of the skated pair with the copper undertone were leather, just like this pair. the leather on these shoes, when skated or sandpapered, will turn copper. Just because this picture of a DS pair doesn't show any copper doesn't mean its not a feature of this shoe, and neither does the fact that the shoe's upper is leather.
We have no evidence that anything has changed between earlier samples and this sample. Stop freaking out.
February 9th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
these are the exact same as the earlier samples, the copper just isn't visible because they're DS.
the laces match the sole of the shoe.
February 9th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
ugly as fuck. instant no-cop.
February 9th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
I'm copping. Too fresh.
February 9th, 2011 at 11:58 pm

dude the statue of liberty was originally copper/ bronze and oxidized green over time.. you've gotta remember this statue was sent to the u.s. in like the late 1800's from france, in addition to the time factor you've also have to remember its in new york city its cold and windy with hella snow, but all in all get familiar fam, but forsure if you're a fan of nike sb and love the idea cop, i know i am.
February 10th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
