Nike Sportswear has given its Dunk duo a bit of a breather after with the Air Force 1′s 30th birthday blowout taking center stage, so even the few pairs that do release are fairly subdued in stature. This one too in its construction, a new Nike Dunk High whose combination and distribution of suede, denim and (perforated) leather is indeed a novel mixture, its cool colors keeping things fairly low-key. Along with the unique build on these new Dunk Highs, we get our first explicitly labeled look at the new Blackened Blue shade set to debut for Q1 2013, so have a closer look below and pre-order this January drop from Inflammable.

In the sneakerhead world, the closest thing to Dr. Frankenstein’s legendary monster would have to be Nike’s various ‘What the . . . ‘ colorways that combine elements from various notable colorways into one neckbreaking melange. This year saw a marked rise in such styles as both Nike Basketball and serious customizers utilized this approach on the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant signatures. A bit closer to Mary Shelley on the basketball timeline is the Nike Dunk High (whose lowtop brother brought the world its first ‘What the’), and this new Frankenstein Dunk by Diversitile sticks to the legend by offering a piecemeal look complete with what looks like a (salvaged) human brain peeking through the heel. These were lovingly crafted with tons of details you’ll need to zoom in to fully appreciate, so have a closer look below and let us know where this slightly frightening custom Dunk ranks against Diversitile’s other notable works.

In 2006, Nike released the Nike “Fantastic Four” Pack – a quartet of NSW’s most popular models colored up after one of the iconic groups of the Marvel Comics Universe. One of the four members is the slick Human Torch, who was personified by the Air Max 95 with an outstanding gradient colorway of punchy orange and yellow tones in patent leather, but did you know that the original ‘Human Torch’ was a Dunk High? This unreleased sample built with a two-toned orange colorway never made it beyond the sample stages, and instead the Dunk High was the model of choice for Human Torch’s pal Ben ‘Thing’ Grimm’. You won’t find these unreleased samples around much, so check out the gallery below and peep the reasonable price in this listing from strictlydeadstock on eBay.

Sneakerheads are excited about the next Air Jordan XI-inspired Dunks from Nike SB, but those neither have a release date, nor are they the only Dunk designs with their roots in the Air Jordan Legacy. Nike Sportswear has just issued a new pack with colors and blocking reminiscent of the original Air Jordan 1, of which two of three are ready for the taking. The Nike Dunk High ‘J-Pack’ came onto the scene with the familiar bred and black/royal getups and later added a grey third, and it’s the first and last of those that you can see in more detail below now that they’ve arrived at Premier.

The Dunk High rebuilding project continues with a this Free-soled Winterized Dunk High; a few years back, Nike introduces the Nike Dunk Trainer, which featured a fore-foot strap and a similar Free-grooved outsole, but this version goes sans-strap and is built with weather-ready materials that’ll push you through any sort of elemental surprise. This Baroque Brown colorway features a dark beige midsole with an orange interior and a surprising minutiae of teal blue on the heel-tab and upper-most lace eyelet (a design feature perfect by Nike). Expect these to arrive this October as part of Nike Sportswear’s Holiday 2012 product roll-out, so check out the full shot below and let us know what you think.

Back in late June, Sneaker News showed you a duo of upcoming Nike Dunk Highs whose colors and blocking pattern earned the nickname ‘J-Pack’ thanks to a strong resemblance to the original Air Jordan 1s. They feature an extra little detail by way of a scaled pattern on the suede Swooshes, and now we see that Nike Sportswear has added a third colorup to the pack, effectively limiting the AJ1 connections but making for a wider range of options. That new grey-accented edition turns out to be the most versatile of them all, and you can see all three in more photos after the jump. These are expected to arrive at retailers in October so let us know which pair looks best and stick with Sneaker News for word on US availability.
