DUNK MID SB "SEA CRYSTAL"
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2012
STYLE CODE: 314383 033
MATERIALS: The black parts are leather, the rest is suede.
COMES WITH: These come with two sets of white sb laces.
STREET VALUE: retail. I got my pair from deadstockshoes.com
DUNK MID SB "NORI"
Here we have a simple dunk mid with a name based off its colorway. These have a pretty straightforward color scheme, ok materials... and there's really nothing else to be said about these!
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "DRAGON RED"
Although the shade of red is what gives these their official name, they also have earned the nickname "un-Supreme" as the colorway is reminiscent of that of the famed black Supreme dunk low sb's. The resemblence is so close that some have modded the shoe to include hand drawn cement print on the gray areas.
SNEAKER REVIEW - ZOOM HUARACHE TR MID "VOLT"
The idea of the Huarache first came about in the early 90s in an attempt to get a lighter shoe - basically a neoprene sock with a leather shell around it. Several different models of the shoe released and here we have a recent edition of a mid-cut Huarache in the old tried and true black/volt colorway.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "TOKYO II"
I feel like I've reviewed nearly every dunk mid there is! However, there's one pair which I'm a little hesitant to wear without first confirming perfect weather conditions. That would be this limited 2008 release, the Tokyo II. This shoe bears a very similar colorway to the city series Tokyo low, except these are a mid and come with black hits instead of a gum sole. The shoe sold out quickly and as you can imagine is tough to find in good shape.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "WHEAT"
This is yet another dunk sb that is based off of a boot. The Wheat Mids take after a pair of Timberlands and released in 2006. Also known as brownpack mids, the colors are similar to a pair of lows and highs both released during the silver box era. Personally, these are my favorite of the three, even if the collector value is relatively low.
DUNK MID SB "ASBURY"
Here we have another dunk sb based off of a popular skate spot. The area in question is Ashbury Park in New Jersey, formerly known as the Casino Skatepark. This shoe pays tribute to the area, basing its colorway off of the green, yellow and black Medusa-like logo for the park.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "BATMAN"
2008 saw the release of a few superhero-related dunks. Here we have the Batman edition, which sold slowly initially, but like many sb's are now hard to find in deadstock condition. My personal take is that these present a more affordable way to own a pair of shoes in the "lightning" colorway.
NIKE DUNK MID SB "TIE DYE"
Here we have another tripped-out dunk mid. They released to modest fanfare. The shoes feature a tie dye print around the tongue as well as on the spare laces and the upper rear/inner ankle padding. These dunks are a must have for the hippie in all of us!
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2008
STYLE CODE: 314383 461
MATERIALS: The blue and red parts are suede, the white parts and the strap are leather and the upper rear is a kind of thick canvas-type material.
COMES WITH: These come with white and tie dye laces.
STREET VALUE: $150-200

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "RYU"
Here we have another shoe from the Street Fighter pack released in 2010. They feature a good mix of materials and are made up to look like the uniform of the main protagonist from the video game. Initially slept on, these are one of those shoes where clean pairs will be found few and far between due to the mostly offwhite uppers.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "RAIDERS"
Here we have a spring 2011 release that seems to have flown under the radar for most collectors. The shoes aren't really limited nor do they have a remarkable back story. However, these are actually a very clean pair of dunk mids, supposedly based off of the uniform colorway of the Oakland Raiders, and definitely not the first dunk sb to reference a professional football team.
SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "CHOCOLATE"
Another largely overlooked shoe, these released towards the end of 2009 to little fanfare. They appear to be based off of a workboot and are among a class of rarely seen monochromatic Nikes. I had to add the white laces in just to give these some pop! I have a feeling these would have done a lot better among sneakerheads if they had made the shoe entirely out of soft suede instead of the two different grades.
