NIKE, NIKE DUNK HIGH PRO SB, SIZE 9
Rubber, Leather, Cotton, Canvas
2012
In 2005, Nike collaborated with the artist Pushead, known for his illustrations of skulls and bones, on a Nike Dunk Low. In 2012, Pushead and Nike teamed up again for the 'Pushead II,' another take on a Dunk Low, utilizing a brown and black pattern.
This sample, extremely unusual, utilizes the Pushead II pattern on an unreleased Dunk High silhouette.
The pair features canvas mid-panels with black suede overlays and Swoosh. A unique skeletal graphic is stamped on the lateral heel. The pair also comes with Pushead artwork on the insoles.
The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.
