Charlotte skate shop Black Sheep gained quite a bit of notoriety after their obvious Gucci-inspired Nike SB Dunk was shelved last summer. And while the shop lost an opportunity to sell a great collaboration, they did gain some notoriety as a nice consolation prize. Now they’re back with another overt reference, but this time the inspiration hits closer to home as they take aim at the Air Jordan 5 “Grape”. The lifestyle colorway of MJ’s fifth signature was updated recently with an ‘Away’ version that utilized a black upper, and here the Nike SB Dunk High mimics that perfectly. Black Sheep even has the side panel copy the plastic ventilation unit. The skate shop has included an insert photo featuring a Larry Johnson inspired character (we guess the lingering Charlotte connection was stronger than the fact that he was a Converse athlete during his tenure as a Hornet). Be on the lookout for this Air Jordan 5 inspired Nike SB Dunk to drop next month and in the meantime, check out more of the Charlotte affair below.
