All New Nike SB Dunk High

The shoe features an obsidian quarter panel and ankle with red on the swoosh and laces. The blocking on this one is done very nicely leaving a full heel and toe to be done in a tan suede that matches the gum outsole. A white midsole finishes the affair off nicely, helping to creating one of the nicest colorways we’ve seen this year. Look for them now at Korea-based Kasina, and stay tuned in for information about a stateside release.

The Nike Dunk Mid Premio SB - Donatello - TMNT is one of the products in the Nike 'Mid' dunks family. Other products in this rather large family include the likes of Nike Dunk SB Mid Beijing, the Nike Dunk SB Mid Premium Workwear, the Nike SB Mid Premium 'Television' and the Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro, to name but a few of Nike's Mid-sized dunks. I am personally a fan of these 'mid' dunks. But of all the Nike Mid dunks I have gotten to use over the years, I have to confess that it is the Nike Dunk Mid Premio SB - Donatello - TMNT that I have gotten most impressed with, and that for good reason.

Size-wise, Nike Mid Premio SB - Donatello - TMNT is a 'mid' dunk in the realest sense of the word, manifesting as it does, as something truly between a low dunk and a high dunk. The gradient on the shoe starts right from the front part, right after the point where the toes go in, and climbs gradually; to reach the highest point at the tip of the tongue, where the shoe meets the wearer's foot-trunk. Of course, this is the structure that one expects on a dunk. At its highest, Nike Dunk Mid Premio SB - Donatello - TMNT towers at just about half a foot, definitely not high enough to be termed as a 'high' dunk, but then again not short enough to be termed as a 'low' dunk.
