50. Nike Dunk High Premium Notebook aka "Nikebooks"***
I seriously hunted these down! I had every store in DC on speed dial the day they dropped - unfortunately, they dropped a few days early and I was in VA (Yorktown) to see John Mayer and Beck with my homie and TEAM PAC Champion Alexandra - BUT ANYWAYS a few days later the late shipment showed up at Sports Zone in Gtown and thats the same day I bought three pair of shoes in one day and still spent only about 350.00 :)
49.Nike Dunk Low CL Jordan 3s***
2nd pair to come out of the Jordan inspired Dunk Lows. The Nike Air Jordan IIIs are one of my favs so naturally the combination is great for me. Also Notables were the Dunk Low Jordan IIs and True Blue III's. I also own both of them too. I bougt them from City Sports in Chinatown and a Journeys out in Rockville somewhere
 
48. Nike SB Dunk High Supremes
Supreme NYC is craaazy for this one. The other two colorways are dope too, but you can't say too much about a Orange and white sneaker. Well atleast not since the Syracuse Dunk High OGs. Not quite on my Holy Grail list but close enough.
 
47. Nike SB Dunk Low Supremes
Another Jordan III inspired design this time by Supreme Tokyo, Japan. Another thing you'll notice throughout is the Elephant print is my all time favorite Nike design element. Alson came in a blk/red colorway.
 Blk and Red version
 DJ Clark Kents AF1 Version - 1offs
46. Nike SB Dunk High De La Soul aka "Da La's"
Nike Dunks and Hip-Hop music is always a great combination! This just so happens to mix the Classic Dunk High with a Classic album "3 Feet High and Rising" cover art. Not to mention, but I'm going to anyway, the green elephant print is sooo neccessary. That year a few other De La inspired nike sneakers also released.
 
45. Nike SB Dunk High UNKLE editions aka "D.U.N.K.L.E.S." ***
My 1st pair of SB Dunk Highs that were stolen! I bought them from Elite Boardshop in Fair Oaks Mall while attending George Mason University. They were stolen from my locker in the Gym the same day I bought them.
Shy pink and Black still remains as one of my favorite colorways. This shoes was design by Futura 2000 (notice the signature aliens and atoms throughout). Same guy in the John Mayer video for the people who don't know.

44. Nike SB Dunk High Stones Throw Records aka "Quasimotos"
The verdict is still out on exactly who got the shoes and how many pairs exist but they are still dope. Stone throw Records is one of my fav labels and is also home to MADLIB, Peanut Butterwolf, AloeBlacc, Breakestra, Dudley Perkins, Guilty Simpson, Georgia Ann Muldrow, J Rocc, Jaylib (MADLIB & J Dilla), MADVillian (MF Doom & MADLIB), Oh No, Chrome Children, Yesterday's New Qunitet (MADLIB once again) and the infamous QUASIMOTO (MADLIB's alter ego). Look out real soon because I'm bringing some heat from this label in the next post!
#43. Nike Dunk High "All Star New Orleans"
Released exclusively during the ASG 2008 in New Orleans to a very select few peoples. Colorway via New Orleans Saints. Can you say stingray? Because thats what the black material is - so sick. The AF1 sister shoe pictured below. Although its a Dunk list, you gotta admit how sick they are.
42. Nike SB Mid Guns N Roses aka "November Rains"
Now as much as I wanted these, I slept on them when they came out and by the time I had the money -- no size 13s! Although a good friend of mine bought them and they looked hot on her.
I just spotted a tshirt that would rock hard with the kicks
40. Dunk High Premium Santana ***
One of the few times I bought a pair of shoes without knowing anything about them. I walked into Sports Zone in Gtown once again to just see what they had and my mouth dropped. The materials are sooooooo sick its amazing they were only $89. The icy glacier color soles also has the same image that appears on the sides. Metallic patent paint job on the heels where if the light catches it right you can see the fuchsia and glacier colors sparkle. The inside in lined with a super soft velvet and notice the alternating colors on teh stitching. Said to have been model after the Cali Low Rider scene, two other Vandal Lows were also released in a similar colorway with pinstriping.
 
 
39. Nike Dunk High Goldenrods
Not to be confused by the Wu's or the UN Goldenrods (respectively pictured below) These OGs where my favorite because at the time of there release DC was in a monotone nightmare. Everything was Navy Blue or Black and sometimes a little heather gray or white thrown in. But right about the same time Nautica and Polo started to catch fire in DC, I saw a guy in Eastern Market with these and fell in love! The OGs are hard to find now but the UNs shouldn't be that hard to cop. The Wu Tangs are impossible to get unless you already own them and the Michigans are kinda rare too.
The Wu's have the classic Wu-Tang logo on the tongue and rear heel - RARE!
The Un Goldenrods have wool side panels and a whits swoosh opposite the OG yellow ones.***
38. LIVESTRONG x Nike Dunk High F.L.O.M. Greatist Hits Pack
Nike has a knack for doing colaborations and this time is no different. The LIVESTRONG campaign had us all wearing that silly yellow band for years and just when you thou the team behind the YELOOW nonsense was done, they went ahead and gathered the most sought after nike collaborations in the past few years and gave then the Lance paint job. I must say Kudos on the idea, but I've trid to find out legit release info and it exist online but store level is another thing. I know I can't afford any of them if I wanted to but just for the intel i guess. Pictured below is the set of the Greatest Hits Pack and the original colorways.
OG F.L.O.M;s "For The Love of Money"
OG Busy P & SO ME Air Force 1s
Busy P & SO ME Air Force 1 LIVESTRONG Edition
from left to right Mr Cartoon Nike collabs
Mr Cartoon AF1 Mexico, Mr Cartoon AF1 LA, Mr Cartoon AF1 ((Combination of design elements from all of his shoes pictured)), Mr Cartton Air Max 90s {Super Rare}, Cartoon Cortez, Cartoon Cortez that I've never seen, lol.
Mr. Cartoon Air Force 1 LIVESTRONG Edition
OG Nike Woven Footscape "Hamster" in white
Nike Woven Footscape LIVESTRONG Edition
now back to the dunks!!!!
37. Nike SB Dunk Low Ms Pacman
The colors are sick and the concept is a WIN! In the past nike did a Ms Pacman Dunk High that didnt fail, it was just realse in GS version only. Then the word got around that after the Rock Pack was done then SB would do shoes inspired by 80s video games. Such is history because dome of the dopest shoes cam outta that pack and this was no exception. In my opinion it was the best and again - everyone was sold outta 13s!!!!
again DJ Clark Kent has his own AF1 version of the Ms Pacmans - These are 1Offs, so don't ask!
