De La Soul Nike Dunk SB Low – 2009 Release

De La Soul just leaked some info in a recent interview about their 2009 project with Nike. They never said if the project was with Nike SB, but we all assumed that seeing that the two linked up back in 2005. NSB reports that this metallic silver Dunk Low is based off of their 2001 AOI: Bionix album cover. The cover features all three members dressed in silver astronaut suits, and the Dunks resemble the suits due to the use of metallic silver.

According to the info provided, these were originally set to release in 2006, but they scrapped and are “rumored” to drop in ‘09. This makes perfect sense, but time will tell everything. Stay tuned to TSG for more updates on this release.

    this a dope concept 4 a dope cd!

  6. Sweet! But I need more picture

    Im disapointed to say the lease. These look like what everybody else is doing. I mean you have the supra skytops, air max 1’s gold and silver pack, a gold dunk that was in the japan city pack,and the womens gold and silver vandals. Thats all I can think of right now but, what Im trying to say is since last time they came with such origianlity these were a major LET DOWN!

  8. these are some dope sbs and the back heel tab says “AOI” for art of intelligence. ill try and post the link for more pics.

    They a-ok. Resembles the dino jr imo.

  10. Not even close to the first De La’s, but either way “LET THE HYPE BEGIN!!!”

  11. I don’t know whether to be severely disappointed about this lackluster effort from the legends OR if I should be relieved that I won’t be tempted to pay an outrageous re-sale price to get these!

    Pass these are not SB material just like those Tokyo mids.

  13. Comment by solediva September 5th, 2008 at 3:56 pm

    Major let down. I expected and wanted more from these, but I’d cop em anyway to complete my set.

    They are okay but the reality is your getting those Silver Journey Dunk Lows with extra padding and fat laces for more then likely triple the price…Those Silver Journey Lows are still very much available…

  15. Laffin out loud! The journey dunks with the extra padding

  16. Aye C brown. What’s good. Tell them fuckin paparazzi ppl to leave an an fresh kid Rih Rih alone.

  17. sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
    ummm you people like the dinos but not theese wow

  18. An actualy Nike sb had all gold( luckys) n silver(dinos) shoes before supra

  19. Comment by jsrgreat September 5th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    ^^i was thinking the same thing as CenValCali…the silver reminds me of the dino jr’s, just with black and no purple

  20. Comment by abelinoSFV September 5th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    just all right nothing to flip over them yeloow one’s are there best

  21. Comment by TorontoComeUp September 5th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

    these are pretty sick, i cant lie, but yes, ORIGINAL DELAs ARE CLASSIC

  22. Nothing will ever top the Highs, thats why I love the TSG banner :)

    Throw some red laces on them bishes and they’re super nice.

  24. Um is it me or does it look like it has purple laces, and lining? (Dino Lows?) =) lol i’d cop if its purple in there.

  25. Comment by Lost Soles September 5th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    these were done a long time ago check out solepedia under sb samples probably around the time when they first worked together

  26. Comment by robertononame September 5th, 2008 at 7:35 pm

    i agree…purple laces FTW

  27. coopped if dey overhyped im not sure

  28. Comment by Sandman September 5th, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    Wack just like the album cover

  29. hmm high tops please

  30. Wow I’m def dissappointed. I was hopeing these wuld be better. Plus I’ve seen enough silver shoes recently.

  31. Kinda hard for them to actually TOP their first joints….the Hi’s are in a world of their own. That being said, these are cool…flip the laces every time you wear em and you’d be good to go.

  32. Comment by XkrispyELI September 5th, 2008 at 10:53 pm

    i would rock a pair of these, remind me of the dinos.

  33. am gon’a keep an open mind. red midsole might’ve been a craazzyy twist.

  34. Comment by SOLEminds September 6th, 2008 at 1:38 am

    hahaah loook at those dope spaceboootsss. haha its llike a dunk low dino jr.

  35. HELLA SICK

  36. they are straight, def gonna get that hype, im really surprised at how many people are hatin on em, when in reality most people were lookin at the dino jr. kinda funny, and then as soon as the price inflated people lost their minds over them. these are simple and clean, def is a old concept, saw some pics on solepedia a minute ago, ps that album was tight, de la soul forever…

  37. ay off the no bull. yal bamas need to stop hating. these joints on point. half of the bamas that say this crap is dead are just sayin it because they just wanna downplay nikes ideas. if these would have came out 3 years ago in a pink box, all the haters would be on them so hard. losers. nike sell outs. nike til death (best designs/ best ideas/ best shoes)

  38. UGLY HYPE, you can make something very similar to that right now on NIKE ID

  39. Comment by nellynumberthree September 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    This is the best that De La Soul and Nike can come up with. These look like any other shoe in any other metal pack. At least make them high tops. At least use the other colors and graphics on the album cover.

  43. Comment by biggrizzly September 8th, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    this was the original shoe before they switched it to the ones that came out in 05. they had these on behindthesneakers.com back before the Oompa Loompas came out.
