It’s Friday y’all, so prepare to kick back and enjoy the weekend with a popular brew-combo – the Black and Tan. Nike Skateboarding delves further into the ‘sauce’ with the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Black and Tan’, which features a gradual darkening of brown to near-black from toe to heel on the Nike SB Dunk. The ‘Black and Tan’, a two-hit combo of a light pale ale and a darker ale (usually Guinness), is somewhat of a continuation of the ‘beer’ series which featured the ‘Heineken’ and the far rarer ‘Dos Equis’ SB Zoom URL, with a special insole depicting the popular bar fare. Do these quench your thirst of weekend mayhem? Check out the additional images below and stick with Sneaker News for more info on this new Nike SB development. via N-SB

February 17th, 2012 at 11:47 am

February 17th, 2012 at 11:57 am
pretty dope, havent had this nice of an sb in a while
February 17th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
Honestly if this is gonna release in March and push back the Entourages you can keep it. It's almost identical to the Strummers and it's not that crazy.
February 17th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Yeah man, good thing that insole that no one will ever see is pretty dope!
February 17th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Don't know if anyone notices the gradient fade from the toe box to the back panel uppers…dope- but the check should have been a different color. But i'm sure these look dope in person.
February 17th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
I need to see these in sun light- that artificial light makes it look a different color in each picture
February 17th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
looks like both of the Strummers. i dont really understand why theyd release such a similar concept.
February 17th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
i see guality goin down very sad never thought it would hit sbs as well
February 17th, 2012 at 3:38 pm

.. i liked how everyone was talking down on the shrimps. then next post "omg i need to copp these" im for sure getting these since i coudnt get the castles or the henny"s… for sure!!!
February 17th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
concept not bad but something closer to a Heinekin feature would of made this shoe a lot better
February 17th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
please ghetto ppl stay away.stick to jordans and foamposites
February 17th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Umm the Castle's are really not that expensive…
February 17th, 2012 at 5:52 pm
I'm thinking "Sam Adams"!!
February 17th, 2012 at 5:52 pm
No wait I skimmed through "Guiness"!!!
February 17th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Ghetto people? Kill yoself.
February 17th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
So? doesn't mean they don't look nice. they are nice as hell imo.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:35 pm

February 18th, 2012 at 12:10 am
the white swoosh was a mistake.
February 18th, 2012 at 7:11 am
Eh. Reminds me of Joe Strummers. MIGHT cop. have to see it in person first.
February 19th, 2012 at 3:38 pm

All you people claiming to be Irish need to gen up on your history….
Celebrating Guinness is one thing – "Black and Tan" is something no proud Irish person would wish to be associated with.

Shame on you Nike for doing this! Your research team really dropped the ball on this one! Do you have any idea the atrocities the black and tan comitted in Ireland? Do you? Do you know how to use google you idiots? Nike you owe every Irishman in the world a public apology.
March 12th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
Nike you idiots. Shame on you, The slightest bit of research and it would have been clear that the name black and tan evokes a sense of outrage, horror and hate in any right minded Irishman. How could ye be so insensitive.
