DUNK HIGH "VILLANOVA"

Learn more about the Villanova dunk highs

DUNK HIGH "VILLANOVA"

No, these are not the SB's, and no, they didn't come with a keychain, but the white/navy colorway on a dunk is immediately reminiscent of the Villanova college colorway.  These actually came out a year before the BTTYS dunk sb version.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2004
STYLE CODE: 309432 141
MATERIALS: All leather uppers
COMES WITH:  White and navy flat laces
STREET VALUE: $125

DUNK HIGH SB "MF DOOM"

DUNK HIGH SB "BLOODY GUMS"

These dunk highs feature a colorway reminiscent of toothpaste packaging, with both the clear sole and insole revealing a print of bloody gums and dental floss.  Although these didn't receive a lot of hype when they first dropped, they have slowly been gaining popularity.  Since the uppers are tough to keep fresh looking, clean pairs are getting harder and harder to find.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2009
STYLE CODE: 313171 611
MATERIALS: The uppers are all suede.
COMES WITH: These come with red and white sb laces.
STREET VALUE: $120

DUNK HIGH SB "SKATE MENTAL"

Nike SB teamed up once again with skateboard brand Skate Mental to create these dunk highs.  This pair is fairly nondescript except for the tongue tag which features an "SM" where the "SB" is normally shown.
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2009
STYLE CODE: 313171 241
MATERIALS: The uppers are suede, except the tongues which appear to be nylon and inside the wing flaps which are corduroy.
COMES WITH:  My pair came with white and brown sb laces.
STREET VALUE: retail.  I got my pair from premierskateboarding.com!

DUNK HIGH SB "PAUL BROWN"

This shoe comes from a bygone era of Nike SB where even the hightops had stuffed tongues!  The shoe gets its name from the colorway, which, according to nikeskateboarding.com, is "inspired by the current team of colors of a certain Nike athlete who's famous for his signature basketball shoes that people skate in".  Um - Michael Jordan, anyone?
YEAR OF RELEASE:  2002
STYLE CODE: 305050 431
MATERIALS: All suede uppers.
COMES WITH:  These come with two sets of white sb laces.
STREET VALUE: $350-500.  Shoutout to KrisTheGreat on ISS for the hookup!

DUNK HIGH SB "CIGAR CITY"

These were done in collaboration with Skate Park of Tampa, designed by Todd Bratrud, and are inspired by Ybor City and its various cigar factories.  A limited release occurred first (with some extras, of course), followed by a more widespread release, although these are still considered a quickstrike.

DUNK HIGH SB "DEEP BURGUNDY"

Here we have a dark toned dunk high reminiscent of the plum colorway due to the multiple purples and reds at work.  Of note is the contrast stitching, which for me really takes these shoes to another level.  These get their name from the colorway.
