Nike Dunk Meets Quagmire

After many rumors of being released spread across the web, Nike has finally released the SB Dunk High Quagmire. You may have heard of the name Quagmire before. That’s because you have seen the show “Family Guy” on television. The SB takes after the character Glen Quagmire’s infamous flowered red shirt that he’s always sporting. The Dunk High features a blue suede toebox, swoosh, and upper heel, while contrasted by a red suede inner lining and upper, where you can see the stitched yellow flowers. The shoe also features a white midsole and white stitching towards the heel, and to finish it off, a dark gum sole. The shoe speaks for itself, and it’s for those who are ready to have a fun time.

Skinny Dunks...Its for the ladies!

Staying true to the original design ethos of Nike, Nike Sportswear remixed an icon with a distinct focus on innovation. Specially made for the female consumer, the “Skinny” Dunk is Nike Sportswear’s offer for the female who loves authenticity that fits with her wardrobe. Keeping the same silhouette of the “real” deal born in 1985 on the basketball court, Nike Design Director Jesse Leyva worked with a strong team of female designers to adjust the fit of the shoe to the female body.

“We don’t have to reinvent the wheel”, says Leyva. “When you look at the shoe, it’s the Dunk, the icon, nothing more nothing less.” But when you put it on, you discover the difference. “It’s less bulky, because of the special last we used.” Nike design is all about listening to the athlete. In this case we listen to the female athlete who wants to rock the pop culture icon that compliments her foot and form without sacrificing any elements or aesthetic of the original Dunk silhouette. Simply put, the Skinny Dunk is an innovative mix of fit and feel designed specifically for her.

Nike Dunk Reaching for the Stars(or sumthin like dat)

It has been only a few days since Nike released their May 2008 line-up of SB models, however a new picture of what looks to be an upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low has surfaced the internet. It has been reported that this future release is scheduled to hit stores later this year, but that is only one of the pieces of information released.

Nike Dunk Low CL - Hoop Orange/Black

Nike has strongly focused their attention to keeping things rather simple when it comes to color and design for 2008 and they continue to do so. This theme appears in the Dunk Low seen above featured in Hoop Orange and Black.

In addition, it seems that Nike has come up with specific designs for the Dunk and Air Force 1 line, which uses the overall look but with different colors, which means that more Dunks like this can be expected, just with slight modifications in the colors.
