ADIDAS BUSENITZ "GREY/GUM/WHITE"

Here we have the breakout shoe from the Adidas Skateboarding line, the Busenitz.  The shoe is marked by its oversized tongue that can be cut down per the wearer's choice - although I'd imagine that the sneakerhead part of the population that owns these would be hard pressed to take scissors to a pair of shoes.  People that actually skate in these might have a different take though.  This particular pair gets its name from the colorway.
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2012
STYLE CODE:  G56362
MATERIALS:  Suede uppers, leather stripes
COMES WITH:  Adidas tags, grey and white laces.

A LOOK BACK - DUNK LOW PRO "GRAPHITE/GUM"

 Here we have a really simple dunk low that I couldn't wait to wear again.  My goal today is to keep a low profile, and nothing says "just ignore this guy" or "Tony Diamonds, who?" better than a pair of black on black dunks.  The buttery suede and soft leather in addition to the smart looking gum sole is definitely a plus.  Check out the pics below and my original review here.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW PRO "GRAPHITE/GUM"

In 2002, sb dunks began to appear, and the dunk low pro's and pro b's began to give way to Nike's official skate line. Of course, just as many collectors agree that the materials used on the first couple generations of sb's are far superior to anything being put out now, most can also reach a consensus on the niceness of low pro's and pro b's. This pair in particular is just about as beefy as an sb; it's just missing the trademark fat tongue and straps to make it a complete Nike skate shoe.
