NIKE DUNK LOW The Nike Dunk Low is the low version of Nike’s ubiquitous Dunk silhouette from 1985. While never a true performance sneaker like its predecessor, the Nike Dunk Low has always been a strong contender in the Retro realm, particularly within the Nike SB line.

Sneaker News’ recent look at the fall 2012 lineup of Dunk Highs from Nike Sportswear featured three styles across four different pairs, so while the Nike Dunk Low doesn’t have that many on display here today, this pair’s connection to one of the Highs suggests additional lowtops come Q3. The Lows we’re certain are on the way match the SB-like double-layer Swooshed grey and teal Highs and apply the same speckled print to the midsole of a grey-based, purple and red-accented design that comes off like a potential Toronto Raptors alternate jersey. Might you make them one of your go-to looks when they drop at NSW retailers next season? More images await your click below, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for word on their US availability.

Sneaker News just showed you a brand new Dunk High from Nike Sportswear that utilizes a pattern we’ve seen from them with increasing frequency in recent months (one that’s also popped up on SB releases as well). This new Nike Dunk Low pictured above utilizes that same clean blocking pattern, one that splits the shoe from front to back by combining the toe/box, eyelets and tongue into one unit while the heel, side and rear panels all consist of the same stuff. In the case of this pair, it’s black tumbled leather and Cool Grey canvas, a pairing that welcomes the white Swoosh/sole combo with open arms and serves as a perfectly neutral base for the pop of blue laces and tongue tags. Check these out up close after the jump, let us know how these compare to the grey/green Dunk Highs referenced above and if this new blocking template has what it takes to become 2012′s ‘Be True’.

The phrase ‘Be True to Your School’ is familiar to most sneakerheads, even if they don’t know its origins trace back to a 1963 Beach Boys single. In common parlance, it’s come to refer to the OG Nike Dunk High styles, a series of simply-blocked collegiate designs also known as the ‘Original 7′. Styles like the ‘Iowa/Goldenrod’ stand out as icons of modern basketball design, but the Dunk has survived over a quarter-century because it can handle those patterns amongst a bevy of other options. For example, this new run of Dunk iD ‘Be True’ samples gives you the ability to choose the classic blend or switch to a more contemporary template as a reflection of the new and more school colors on display at the NCAA Tournaments. Prime your imagination by checking them out after the jump and get ready for these new choices on NIKEiD on March 20th.

A message for you aspiring sneaker customizers out there: Go big, or go home. Once a ‘faux-pas’ in the sneaker game, the custom sneaker has become a powerhouse category on its own largely in part due to some creative cats who have chopped and screwed general release sneakers in masterpieces. A few swipes of Angelus paint won’t be enough to get recognition in the competitive custom-sneaker game – you have to come through with sick concepts and a steady hand. Take for example this latest custom work by Pimp My Kicks; inspired by the world’s most luxurious mobile phone crafted by Swiss timepiece manufacturer Ulysse Nardin, this Dunk Low custom features a glossy croc skin print, an etches toebox of sailing anchors, and a sick lace dubrae emblem of the Nardin brand. It’s one of the best-done Dunk customs we’ve seen front to back, so check out the gallery below and let us know what you think.

Is the Dunk going to be forced to play second fiddle to the Nike Air Force 1 given that 2012 is set to be a banner year for the latter? The selections have been a bit slim, but what has made its way to retail has been pretty pleasing. Following up on the textured look of Nike Dunk Low shown here is a release that takes a pretty similar approach material-wise. Where the two differ is the blocking, with the obsidian/khaki pair pictured above opting for a more solid look and even bringing in some pop with the limed out laces and lining. Hit the jump for the full photos of this upcoming Nike Dunk Low, which can be had a bit early over at RMK.

While the hightop version has earned three different Quickstrikes for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, the Nike Dunk Low has been relatively quiet since its appearance in last fall’s ‘Aztec Pack’. Among the few blips on the radar since then was a preview of the above pictured pair, one that’s now starting to arrive at Asian retailers and will be at select Nike Sportswear stockists in the States shortly. They come with a classically simple combination of Team Red, Medium Grey, black and white, which is just a few degrees away from being an un-Ultraman release. How do these rank against last year’s ‘Vintage Pack’ drop, or even the original co.jp-exclusive? Decide for yourself with the aide of additional photos after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on all the new Nike Dunks. via SM

The Nike Dunk is an institution in the sneaker world, a model that’s been going strong for over a quarter-century with well over that still left in the tank. The Dunk is one of those foundational models that’s seen a bit of attention stolen by the newfangled lifestyle sneakers that’ve come onto the scene in the past couple years, and that’s where this newest custom release from Pimp My Kicks comes into play. Handcrafted by Hollywood’s Oliver Moore Bootmakers, the Nike Dunk Hybrid Dress collection by PMK pairs rich mahogany and olive dress leather with black authentic alligator for a mere 5 pairs each of the ‘Spy’/wingtip and ‘Soldier’/captoe Highs along with the ‘Tailor’/penny loafer Lows and another lowtop that echoes the ‘Golf Pack’ Dunk Low SB’s tassled lace cover. The quality is apparent in more images you’ll see after the jump, and in a world where we haven’t yet seen a Dunk Bespoke experience, is it possible these are some of the nicest pairs ever created? Let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for more custom sneaker designs.

Nike SB’s releases might get the lion’s share of attention when it comes to Dunk releases these days, but don’t forget about Nike Sportswear’s quarterly drops. The Nike Dunk Low is coming up for spring 2012 in two new colorways that offer a case study in how blocking affects the overall feel of a relatively simple design. This first pair is arguably the stronger standout of the two thanks to a bright yellow on the overlay that really pops against a navy blue base. The choice of a brown Swoosh turns out to be critical in adding balance to allow for the ubiquitous white Dunk midsole to make a welcome appearance, and you can see more angles of how it all fits together after the jump below. via mita sneakers
