Nike

This 2004 Nike Dunk Low Pro earned its ‘Kermit’ moniker because of its bright green toe box, tongue and rear lining. The colorway has a contrasting Midnight Fog suede upper and black leather Swoosh. A sample pair, these sneakers were made by the manufacturer for promotional purposes or for testing various aspects of the design, making them far rarer than the general release pairs.  

The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding as it became apparent that the form of the sneaker could have multiple uses. 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.
