We have just learned that this new Nike SB Dunk High was recently released at a Nike SB retailer in Singapore. This unexpectedly released sneaker features a royal blue and yellow leather upper, with the royal blue being a suede material. The swoosh on the sneaker is also made of suede, but is a pea green color. The shoe contains a classic gum sole, while the midsole’s goldish yellow matches the side panels and toe box. There is no information about the shoe being released in the U.S. via NikeSB.org
With July quickly approaching and many sneakerheads anticipating the release of upcoming Nike SB’s, South of the North has just put up a July ‘08 Nike SB Preview. Nike is set to release a Dunk Low, a Tre AD, a Classic, a Blazer Low, and a pair of “eBay Dunk” socks. The Dunk, nicknamed the Randy Colvin Space Tigers, is a yellow on black sneaker with speckled paint on the side panels, heel, and toe box. The Tre AD is going to release in a camouflage color, with a brown mesh toe box and dark green mesh tongue. The Classic will be a suede shoe with a navy blue on olive green colorway, topped off with orange laces. The Blazer Low will feature a black swoosh on royal blue suede with a clean, white midsole. And last but not least, a pair of eBay Dunk socks will be released to commemorate the auction of the eBay Dunk’s that sold for $30,000. via CtotheJL / South of the North

With BMX biking joining the list of sports for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Nike decided to commemorate the addition of this popular sport by creating a pack of Nike SB’s based on BMX riding. Specifically, the inspiration for these dunks comes from the Hutch Trickstar, a storied bike in the BMX community. The bright gold colorway of the Dunk Low draws inspiration from the “Gold Trickstar,” a 24k gold plated bike belonging to Woody Itson, a well-known BMX rider. The star pattern covering both the Blazer and the Dunk definitely sets these two drops apart from the crowd, as does the gold color making up the swoosh in the Blazer, and basically the entire shoe in the Dunk Low. Dave’s Quality Meat apparently had a hand in the creation of these SB’s, so expect them to be getting some of the first shipments of this sick pack this weekend when they drop. Via DQM blog.

Collaborations are rare with Nike SB, yet when they do, they are usually sure hits that’s highly sought after for years to come. To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the iconic skate board magazine ‘Slap’, a Zoom Air Abingtons has been created. The ‘Slap’ Abington features black and blue premium leather and suede uppers, with the roman numeral letters ‘XV’ embroidered near the toe, as well as a Slap logo on the back of the heel. The insoles feature a collage of fifteen years worth of classic Slap Magazine cover shots. While much of the Nike SB talk of late has been focused on the Lobster Dunks, don’t let these extremely limited sleepers pass through your claws if you happen to spot them at your local authorized SB dealers now.

The Nike SB “BMX Pack” has been talked about in bits and pieces for a few weeks now, ever since the Nike BMX event held in Beijing following the Global Nike Sportswear Launch in the middle of May. Now it looks like the Nike SB team has created a pack of shoes just for the BMX folks out there under their Nike SB umbrella. The pack currently consists of two premier models from the Nike SB line, the Blazer Mid and Dunk Low. Two Blazer Mid’s will be dropping as a part of this pack including the Michael Lau “China” pair as well as a Black pair with Gold hits and Stars all over the upper. In addition to the Blazer’s there will be a Gold Dunk Low also with Stars all over the upper that is limited to 600 pairs worldwide. All of the shoes in this pack are scheduled to hit in late July but Brooklyn Projects will be releasing them on the 27th of June at their Echo Park store. via Brooklyn Dom

A new Dunk Low SB inspired by Pro Randy Colvin and his World Industries deck has been released in several European Nike SB retailers this week. This Dunk SB takes inspiration from the 1991 World Industries “Velvet Deck” for Pro Randy Colvin, the deck was fairly interesting for the time as it had black velvet flocking on it and glowed in black light. This is one of the coolest Dunk Low’s from Nike SB in while; it should be hitting US Nike SB retailers soon. Via: lesitedelasneaker

Some may claim that Nike Skateboarding is currently experiencing a downturn; however, it isn’t so much a downturn as it is a return to their roots. Far from the explosive designs of past years, Nike SB has lately been returning to “hype-free” designs. With only a few notable exceptions, the non-Dunk SB releases of late have been sticking to simple, clean styling. This trend continues with the June drops from SB, which include this Air Harbor and Air Classic pair. Coming in simple blue and tan colorways, with simple materials (no croc or patent leather here!), and good quality workmanship throughout, these kicks may never achieve the hype level of previous SB drops, but for those looking for a good, solid pair of kicks to wear every day, these SB’s won’t disappoint. Look for them now at select Nike SB accounts everywhere including Premium Laces online and instore.
This month’s (June 2008) drops from Nike Skateboarding include the above colorway of the Zoom Tre A.D. featuring midnight fog, white and Raisn (Raisin?). The Zoom Tre A.D. is an updated version of the Nike SB Zoom Tre which featured a similar hard mesh toe area. The rest of the shoe features a leather upper with blind seam construction, heel Zoom Air unit, and a padded collar with molded heel locking system. For those who’s worn the Zoom Tre A.D. will know that the molded heel locking system is amazingly comfortable. You can find this colorway at finer Nike SB retailers, ebay, and Premium Laces online and in store.

Swedish, Nike SB sponsored rider Danijel Todorovic and friends Dave Dixon and Sam Barratt designed the above Blazer dedicated to Sweden. This Blazer SB uses the colors of the Swedish flag in a fairly simple color-blocking. Here’s what Danijel has to say about them in a recent interview on NikeSkateboarding.com
“Well it started with a sleepless night clicking on the computer trying to come up with a Swedish concept. I think it went from a dunk to a dunk mid and than to a blazer. My friend Sam Barratt came up with the blazer colors and Dave Dixon who owns “The Harmony”, the board company I ride for, did the artwork. So it’s a true collaboration. My idea, Sam’s execution and Dave’s art.”

A few days ago, Hiroshi debuted the second Fuji Rod he designed for Nike SB and P-Rod on Honeyee, since he only put up one image, we went out and found a few more for you guys. The upper’s color is actually sail and not white as we originally though and the yellow is neon yellow. The new photos also show the multiple sets of laces that should match up to the rainbow heel tab. Currently these have only available in Japan but we’ll update once we learn more about availability else where. The first Fuji Rod was recently made available in the US. Photos: bingorunner
