We’re transitioning into a new age for Nike’s Action Sports divisions, as the SB label that’s been oh so popular for the past decade takes on a restructuring process concurrent with ‘little brother’ 6.0′s own. Somewhere in the middle, but with even wider distribution is a group of models like this Nike Dunk Low LR, a vulc-soled take on the iconic lowtop Dunk silhouette whose Cool Grey canvas uppers and LunarLon footbed represent a marriage of eras that’s one of the more compelling new skate designs we’ve seen this year. Have a closer look after the jump below, then find yours at select retailers like Premier.

After reporting numerous updates regarding the enigmatic release of the ‘Entourage’ SB Dunk Low, we’ve finally reached a release date as it appears that May 19th seems to be the target drop date for most Nike SB account holders.

CNCPTS in New England will certainly have their stock ready to go, so be sure to be there in-store for their release (charging retail at $98) or cop one now on eBay.

While the Nike SB division might see a complete dissolve in the foreseeable future, the SB Dunk will remain as a mainstay in skateshops as its heritage product – so no need to worry about a stoppage of SB Dunk flow! This latest release, initially previewed back in November, features a unique distressed texture on the upper that pops emphatically next to the smooth, light beige suede. Add in a solid white swoosh and a solid midsole and you’ve got one of the best SB Dunks for the summer – clean, cool, and rockable with shorts. Nike SB shops such as Premier have begun to stock these on their shelves, so check out the detailed angles below and check with your local Nike SB account to inquire about your own pair!

Reports of the ‘Nontourage’ SB Dunks beginning to hit select Nike SB accounts have been noted, but if here’s some useful information if you plan on shopping at Premier; they will hold an in-store release this Saturday, May 19th, and will be on a first-come, first-served basis, as quantities are said to be limited. With that said, it would be wise to check with your local SB purveyor as they may have received a limited stock as well, and if you haven’t checked in yet, get a move on because these are likely to go fast. Are the ‘Nontourage’ a must-have for you, or is this an easy pass? Check out these new images from Premier and let us know if you’ll be passing on this exciting SB Dunk release. If you’ve got your sights set on these but aren’t near an SB shop, cop one now on eBay.

When you first take a look at this new Nike SB Dunk Low do any particular colorways from the SB heritage come to mind? The community seems a bit split on that, with some calling to the similar blocking to the ‘J-Pack’ Dunks of old and others seeing more in common with the ‘Tiffany’ strictly in terms of colors used. Either way, one thing that we should be able to come to a consensus on is that they are quite the summer sneaker, a potent pair thanks to the simple two-tone look on top that relies on an accenting shade from the Nike SB range that is just starting to make moves. Click through for a detailed look at the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro in black/clear jade and grab a pair now from Premier.

Actress Olivia Wilde graced the these pages just last week in the celebrity column, showing up in an Air Jordan selection we suspected was aided by her significant other, SNL member and bonafide sneakerhead Jason Sudeikis. Wilde is here again, but this time around her sneakers are rather tame, with Sudeikis being the focus in his choice from out of the Nike SB vault in the form of Cascade pair of ‘Hemp’ Nike SB Dunk Lows – part of the original SB Dunk ’4/20′ release that appeared in 2004. Hit the jump for some more shots of Sudeikis strolling around in these Nike SB classics and let us know what else you think he has in the stash in the comments below. Photos: JJ

While Nike SB is backing down a bit on the 4/20 releases, they clearly have no qualms about doing tie-in colorways paying tribute to specific varieties of a different, and wholly legal mind altering substance. The latest pair to add to that hallowed tradition aims for a bit of a classier beverage than those included in last month’s ‘Beer Bottle’ pack, evoking the crushed velvet bag of-age folks prone to Crown Royal should be familiar with. Along with the purple suede upper the sneaker is punched up a bit with gold touches on the Swoosh and other accents to make the ‘royal’ aspect that much more evident. Stay with us after the jump for the full shots and be on the lookout for the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Crown Royal’ at accounts like Premier now.
