North Carolina’s own Black Sheep skateshop has taken the theme of a wolf in sheep’s clothing to an entirely new level with their latest Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max Best Price Dunk collaboration slated to release this Saturday, January 7th. The Black Sheep x Nike SB Dunk High “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing” features actual scratch-off Swoosh branding on the side panel to commemorate the fable. The Black Sheep Nike SB Dunk High utilizes a Summit White upper in a premium texturized suede for a vintage aesthetic meant to reference sheep’s wool. The simple construction sits upon a jet black midsole that’s in direct contrast with the tonal upper while a head-turning accent of red hits the midsole stitching and outsole unit for a dash of something a bit more sinister.Customized insoles feature a wolf a snarling wolf graphic with red eyes (you can even see the reflection of a Nike Swoosh in the predator’s pupils) and sharp fangs to match the custom set of blood-speckled laces and lace lock set to release only at Black Sheep’s North Carolina location this Saturday.
We’ve seen a lot of movement from the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max UK Sale/a>, two silhouettes that have their roots based in the hoop world back in the day and have both transitioned to a more lifestyle-friendly market or even found a second life repurposed as a skate model. But what about the Nike Blazer? Today we get a look at the Nike SB Blazer Mid Tour Yellow, a vibrant pair with vintage splashes of suede throughout while a retooled Lunarlon lining and herringbone traction pattern allow the shoe to be a bonafide skate performer once again.This Nike SB Blazer Mid Tour Yellow benefits from accents of Deep Night on the Swoosh branding, bold heel panel, and laces while the vulcanized white midsole unit simplifies the whole release.
The Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max Sale hasn’t been getting as much love as its lowtop counterpart, but it’s still been a featured asset in the ongoing “Shoebox Collection” throughout the Fall/Winter 2016 season and has been a frequent commodity in the lifestyle market to get overhauled in premium leather and suede constructions. Today we get a look at a brand new Nike SB Dunk High Olive slated to release this coming Spring 2017 season featuring premium touches of suede and a lifestyle-grade leather on the toebox and side panels for a look perfect for any occasion.This Nike Dunk High benefits from a Medium Olive shade in suede on the panels and Swoosh branding while a more performance-based sports mesh hits the tongue to offset the bolstered materials throughout. The shade works particularly well with a contrasting black on the laces and underlying panels for a timeless colorway.
Nike Skateboarding has been upping the ante on general releases for a minute now. We’ve seen the ongoing “Shoeb
ox Collection” pay homage to the history of Nike SB’s shoebox artwork, but you can’t forget how important the Nike Blazer has been to the Swoosh’s skate imprint over the past decade and some change. Today we get a look at a jungle graphic on the Nike SB Blazer in Black and Max Orange as an array of ferns and fauna add some noteworthy depth to the vintage basketball model turned skate classic on the side panels. The premium use of synthetic suede is contrasted by that oversized vintage Swoosh in black leather. An updated leopard logo (first seen on Nike Skateboarding rider Ishod Wair’s Nike SB Dunk Low “Camo”) hits each insole in Max Orange to match theNike SB Stefan Janoski Max Cheapbranding on the tongue.
The last time Black Sheep designed aNike SB Stefan Janoski Max Discount Dunk High, the shoe got shelved presumably for its close resemblance to a luxury brand. This January, Black Sheep and Nike are back at it again with a Dunk High called “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”, revealed in this short teaser that reveals the box packaging for the release. Not much else is known at the moment, but we do know the shoes will come accompanied in a custom box and the official drop is sometime next month. Stay tuned for updates.
