Obsidian / Red color of The new Nike Dunk Hi SB

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.


The Nike Dunk High Pro SB is one of the new products in the Nike Dunk product line, alongside the likes of the Nike Dunk High Premium SB Mork and Mindy, the Nike Dunk High Barricade Transformers and the Nike Dunk High Premiums, which are truly giving the Nike Classics a run for their money quite literally. After having the opportunity to use the Nike Dunk High Pro SB, and having gotten thoroughly enchanted with it, it is not hard for me to see why this shoe is proving to be such a major hit.

One of the most attractive features of the Nike Dunk High Pro SB, one has to admit, is Nike's choice of color schemes for the shoes. The colors schemes in question here, as it turns out, are colors that are designed to be simply hard to ignore for 'spectators' seeing one wearing the Dunks out there. My pair, for instance, is based on the black yellow color scheme, the tone of black employed here being the 'real' absolute black tone, and the yellow being the 'darkest' tone of it, to make for a conspicuous combination indeed. Towards the bottom of the shoe, where the upper region of the shoe borders with the shoe's sole, Nike Dunk High Pro SB comes with a brief white section - which is in fact a region of white paint on what otherwise appears to be the shoe's basically black sole. It would seem that Nike chooses to employ white at this point to create the 'contrast effect' which is otherwise not so apparent in the black-yellow color scheme employed all over the rest of the shoe.
