This is a new series that I will get started where I will highlight upcoming kicks, clothing, brands, etc. that I think are not only really dope, but that I think everyone should know about. For the first installment, here is a winter Quickstrike release from Nike SB...
Back in 2006, Nike SB planned to release a pair of Quickstrike (very limited) Dunk High SB in Gucci colorway. It was originally be a part of the team manager series and designed by Girl Skateboards. Unfortunately, the project was scrapped due to some issue with Girl. As a result, there were less than 30 sample pairs made. These pairs as seen in this link, from high end sneaker consignment shop Flight Club, show just how much these bad boys fetch for on the market.
If you're like me, and you thought these shoes were one of Nike SB's best releases, then fear not! In the 4th quarter of 2009, we will have this Gucci Dunk SB High back on the market. The shoe is the same color scheme as the 2006 sample with black denim toe cap and heel cap, deep forest toe box and side panel, and red swoosh.
These will probably be extremely limited, but they are definite must cop (assuming you don't have to camp out for them).
