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.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK LOW SB "SKATE OR DIE"

Released in 2008, this shoe was an instant classic that quickly sold out and reached high resale value.  Although that has settled a bit, these are still fairly valuable and sought after among sneakerheads.  Setting an ongoing trend for sb's, the colorway for these is based on a 1987 video game of the same name, said to be the first skateboarding game ever made.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK HIGH SB "SKATE DECK"

These released in 2007 as part of a skateboard pack that also included some blazers.  This shoe is said to represent a wooden skate deck (hence the special print).  Although not the most sought after sb, these still routinely fetch more than box price for clean pairs.

SNEAKER REVIEW - DUNK MID SB "SKATE MENTAL"

These released in collaboration with SF skateboarding company Skate Mental in 2007.  Rumor has it there are just 666 pairs in existence!  These are highly collectible and one of the more sought after sb mids.
