If you were thinking these should be dubbed ‘Takashi 3’, we totally understand where you were going with that. While this would be the third ‘Takashi’-nicknamed Nike SBs, the upcoming P-Rod III picured above looks pretty much exactly like the Takashi 2 SB Dunk Low, and since the ‘2’ came from the gold/silver variation, now you can get a good sense of why these will be be refered to in parlance as ‘the Takashi 2 P-Rod 3s’. These don’t keep any of the tonal brown laser-etched leather from the famous aforementioned Dunk (though a well used ollie area will reveal a brownish ‘middle’ in the suede), instead relying on an entirely nubuck upper. They’re set for a January ’10 release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via N-SB.org
