Eric Koston Nike SB Dunk

Now that the cat is out of the bag, we thought we’d shed some light on Eric Koston’s Nike SB Dunk Low. Many of you are excited about Koston’s Dunk, and probably plan on buying a pair when they drop, so allow us to educate you on the inspiration of the colorway. Well, Eric Koston was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and he wanted to represent his birth place with this Dunk.

The Dunks feature the country’s flag colors, but more importantly, they also resemble the Thai Garuda emblem. Now it’s quite obvious why Koston picked royal blue, red, and gold for his first SB Dunk. Class dismissed! Image via NSB

No word on when the Dunks will drop, but we’ll keep you posted.

    Enjoying the colorway quite a bit on these. There’s a great skate shop down the road from me that sells all of their shoes like $5-10 above MSRP so with that being said, looking to grab a pair.

  17. Colin B. says:

    Seeing how Koston is a collector himself seems right he gets a simple dunk like shoe instead of a prod like shoe, I think they look great and cant wait to get get a hold of mine xD

    i don’t know where you guys get trash bull sh*t 6.0 erotic skate shoes. first off 6.0 is for bmx riders, second off sb stands for skateboard. so that being said there is a rule of don’t compare the two because there made for different sports ok. you guys are sneaker heads. people that wear sb’s and 6.0′s talk trash about you guys because you wear OUR skinny jeans. OUR shoes, and steal OUR swag. so why don’t you cop your own swag so we don’t look bad because some hood rat sneaker heads can’t come up with their own swag. k, thanks. now bye!!!

  19. jj says:

    only skate boarders and bmx bike riders should wear either of those shoes. and technically both sports are more than a sport to us. it’s OUR lifestyle. it’s OUR way of living and expressing ourselves but the image YOU people put out there makes US look bad.
