NIKE, NIKE SB DUNK HIGH PRO, SIZE 9.5
Rubber, Leather, Cotton
Circa 2002-2004
The Nike SB Dunk High Pro 'Iron Maiden' is a truly unique sneaker paying tribute to the influential rock band. Originally created exclusively for friends and family of Iron Maiden, this extremely limited-edition collaboration is rumored to have had a production run of just 24 pairs.
Featuring a transparent Swoosh, Nike aimed to showcase the vivid Iron Maiden artwork on the side panels. In Nike’s words it “was one icon giving transparency to another.” The sneaker's black suede and leather upper construction allows the iconic artwork to stand out, while the recognizable typography on the heel adds to its distinct appeal.
The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reappropriated the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.
