NSB.org was able to secure pictures via Gumsoles of 4 Sample Nike SB Dunks from lows to mids to highs. Each has a very unique colorway and not much is know of the inspirations behind the mock ups. Although the one above looks similar to Charlie Brown. I believe it is said to release in 2009, but thats if they do release.
If you thought 2009 would be the year that Nike SB would stop making the Dunk a key component of their sneaker line up, we’ll you’re wrong.
