“When Pigs Fly” is an aphorism for a scenario that is impossible to happen; fortunately for sneakerheads, a CNCPTS x Nike SB collaboration is a reality. The New England-based shop began teasing the public with its upcoming partnership with Nike Skateboarding, throwing hints with Porky’s-style flyers, but today, we’re getting a teaser of what’s in store for the Black Friday release. The shoe model at center is the Nike SB Dunk High, featuring a pink pig-skin upper and gold/silver alternate swooshes. A white midsole and gum outsole comprise the bottom end of the shoes, boxed inside special-edition packaging. Stay tuned for more updates here on Sneaker News, and let us know what your initial thoughts are on this CNCPTS X Nike SB release that is slowly unfolding before our eyes.

Whether you think he was invented by Coca-Cola, a remnant of some curious dietary practices among the Siberian natives or that he’s actually real, there are a variety of representations of Santa Claus and his relationship to the Christmas holiday. One Alpine legend involves a mythical demon beast creature known for punishing the bad children while St. Nick is blessing the good, and a legend in his own right in Sean Cliver saw that these frequent flyers would have plenty of crazy stories to bond over. The Sean Cliver x Nike SB Dunk High ’Krampus’ comes in a fairly sinister black and red leather but you can get a sense of the Xmas theme thanks to snow-ish speckling (still red, though; the muse is a total antihero) and the fuzzy green sockliner, and Cliver’s take on the Krampus monster comes in on both the tongue tags and panoramic footbed art. Let us know what you think about Nike SB releasing more holiday-themed sneakers and check back with us as we approach a December Quickstrike release.

NIKE SB DUNK HIGH 2005 WEEK
Suede uppers and gum soles – an easy-as-pie formula for creating an exceptional pair of Dunks. Perhaps the quinessential SB Dunk of that variety is the 2005 release of the ‘Fog’, a simple yet effect SB Dunk High using a tonal black suede upper, a fog grey Swoosh and midsole, and the ubiquitous gum outsole. No snazzy story or skater collaboration, but a slick composition put together by Chris Reed of Nike Skateboarding. Good luck finding a pair in deadstock condition! Check below for this final installment of this week’s Classics Revisited and stay tuned for a fresh new category for next week.

NIKE SB DUNK HIGH 2005 WEEK
Oddly enough, Dunks and skating go hand in hand (or foot on deck). As Stefan Janoski told us in our interview with him last month, Dunks and Air Jordan 1s were the go-to sneaker for skaters who weren’t sponsored by a brand or a shop, which is why Nike used the Dunk as a test-subject of sorts with the Pro B releases of the late 90′s. In Holiday of 2005, Nike Skateboarding paid homage to the 20th Anniversary of Nike Dunk by releasing the original seven installments of the Be True To Your School Series, which included Kentucky, Villanova, Michigan, UNLV, St. John’s, Iowa, and Syracuse (which Supreme sorta did with their 2003 collaboration). Instead of the original leather, these SB version were built with suede and came accompanied with special-edition hangtags. These were released sporadically in October, November, and December, and to this is considered by many of the older sneakerheads to be one of the greatest High-top SB Dunks ever released. A look at all seven is just below, so check out Classics Revisited and let us know which of the seven you own!

NIKE SB DUNK HIGH 2005 WEEK
The folks at Nike SB in charge of all the collaborations must’ve had a distinct taste in music; with names like J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., Slayer, and The Melvins in the mix, it’s clear what sort of tunes these guys rocked out to. In the Fall of 2005, Nike SB released a limited edition collaboration with 80′s band The Melvins in two different colorways – both featuring a mix of designs and graphics from the band’s previous album artwork. The macabre details like the skull-and-crossbones on the black and the chinese character for ‘blood’ on the white is a sure representation the band’s subject matter, which often used sludgy, slow-rock sounds that eventually inspired other Seattle-based rock bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. A look at tonight’s Classics Revisited is just below, so give it a look and tell us which of the two you like better.

NIKE SB DUNK HIGH 2005 WEEK
Two of Nike Skateboarding’s Japanese riders were selected to color up two colorways of the Nike SB Dunk High – here’s a look back at the “T-19″ designed by Iwasaki Shingo; T-19 is a street skate team from Japan for which Shingo was the founder of, and today the team continues to put out skate decks while dabbling in collaborations from time to time. The Nike SB Dunk High ‘T-19′ is considered to be one of the cleanest Dunks ever, using a tonal Sport Royal upper with a perforated center panel and white-mesh tongue. An unoffical “Low” was released two years ago, pairing a royal blue upper with the same perforated mid-panel with a light Shy Pink color, but those were never popular as they came during the much-maligned second ‘thin tongue’ era of Nike SB Dunks. More of tonight’s Classic Revisited of the T-19 Dunks is just below.
