It took me a few seconds to get what was actually going on with these dunks and even though I'm pretty much over the whole "SB Dunk" phase of my life, you have got to respect Nike's ingenuity to slip things under the radar. As a Quickstrike release, due out in April 2010 and designed by Todd Bratrud, I didn't really understand why it was being called the "Skunk" until I saw the picture of the seemingly "high" skunk on the insole and really paid close attention to how the material looks on the shoe. The inside is an illustration of a green skunk. OK, then there is a stask pocket right behind the tongue, so it didn't take much longer for me to figure out that the "skunk" that they were referring to wasn't actually the animal, but the type of Marijuana. The material they used for the entire upper of the shoe seems to imitate the look of marijuana with hairs on it. Then Nike set it off with a purple swoosh. This shoe must be crowned the official weed-head sneaker of the decade. But remember Nike was the 1st to make a low top dunk sb out of hemp, so they have been riding the marijuana wave for a little while now. How much does anyone want to bet that these release on 4/20?
Bonus : Nike SB Dunk Low "Green Hemp"
