After a slow reveal, the full on look at the SPot x Nike SB Dunk Low is finally here. As mentioned previously, the sneakers feature the “dougboy” graphics of skater Lance Mountain embossed across the upper. Aside from that the design brings in a metallic platinum lean via the Swoosh, stitching, and lining. Skatepark of Tampa Ybor is hoping to have them in for a launch this Saturday, March 2nd (with some awesome extras exclusive to the SPoT release), so hit the jump for the full photos and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out when/if other retailers across the globe will also be stocking the SPoT x Nike SB Dunk Low.

Teasers have been the big trend of late with Nike SB Dunk Low collabo revelations, as Del the Funky Homosapien followed in the footsteps of Skatepark of Tampa with just a hint of what’s to come last week. These new photos today mark the third time we’ve seen just a hint of what’s to come with the SPoT Dunk Low SBs, but now we can piece together most of what to expect for this tribute to the park’s 20th anniversary. The black, mint and white combo is quite popular at the moment, and adds with details like the double-layered Swoosh and cartoon embossing that a @lancemountain shoutout in the Instagram caption may reveal their source.

Get a little bit of a better look after the jump and check back with us for the full look on the sort of Lance Moutain looking Skatepark of Tampa x Nike SB Dunk Low sneaker soon.

Todd Bratrud has once again put his lighter up to a new Nike SB Dunk High collaboration, and the result is as smooth and satisfying as anything we’ve seen from Swoosh Skateboarding all year. The Skatepark of Tampa-connected Dunk High SB ‘Cigar’ takes its inspiration from the Ybor City section of town famous for its production of fine tobacco products, though we can’t help but wonder if anything quite as nice as this specially-packaged pair of SB Dunks was ever created there. The suede on these is just top-notch, and paired with a dope tobacco-textured side panel to finish off the deluxe feel. These are sure to fly off shelves wherever they’re stocked, so be prepared when they hit Nike SB retailers like Michigan’s Premier starting tomorrow at noon local time.

There was a ‘Space Jam’-inspired Dunk Low SB released earlier this summer, but would the model above be an even stronger association with Michael Jordan? From the various title celebrations to just getting swamped by paparazzi on a regular day out as per the usual for any global celebrity, MJ is quite often seen with a cigar in his mouth, and this new Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cigar’ designed by Todd Bratrud in conjunction with the Skatepark of Tampa manages to nail the aesthetic on the packaging and the shoe itself. Much has been made of the ‘Ybor City’ Dunk High SB’s rich, earthy suede tones, and now we get our best look yet at the cigar box-inspired packaging, along with details about the Tampa campout. Click through for a closer look from N-SB and let us know how these rank as we continue to see more frequent and intricate special edition packaging. And to get yours early, check out some of the pairs floating around now on eBay.

Complex Magazine declared Todd Bratrud the top skateboard artist “right now” last December, and if anything, his profile has risen this year on the strength of two stellar collaborations with Nike SB. Bratrud’s ‘Cheech and Chong’ Dunk High SB might very well go down as 2011′s most infamous sneaker and his work on the SPoT x Nike SB Dunk High proves this guy’s work is absolutely smokin’. Bratud’s latest reprises the tear-away top layer rolled up on the Cheeches, this time along the side panel where you can already see the texture of a blunt skin. Click through to see more of some of the latest Skatepark of TampaSB Dunk in quite some time and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date on this September drop.

Though it might not be as obvious a connection as the mere 225 miles from Miami to Havana, Tampa, Florida does indeed have a well-established cigar scene. The city has quite a few smoking bars and even cigar factories, so when Skatepark of Tampa wanted to follow up on 2008′s Dunk Mid SB ‘Moat’, they called upon a guy who clearly knows a thing or two about exhaling grey vapors. Todd Bratrud was the artist behind the ‘Skunk’ and ‘Cheech and Chong’ Dunk High SBs (among several others), and his latest collaboration is on the SPoT x Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cigar’. This Quickstrike release for September features some of the nicest suede and nubuck we’ve seen on a SB Dunk, the earthy shades descending into a black/grey mid/outsole that represents ashes. The side panel on these tears away to reveal a tobacco-like texture just like the Cheech release from earlier this year; does the special packaging make this one even better? Click through to see more angles, let us know if you plan to grab a pair of these and stick with Sneaker News for the Skatepark of Tampa Dunk High SB ‘Cigar’ release date. via N-SB
