unHeavens Gate Nike Dunk High Premium SB – Summer 2009 Release

Todd Jordan is the Nike SB skater that designed the Heaven’s Gate SB Dunk High that was suppose to release Fall 2008. We interviewed Todd and he told us all about the HG Dunk from the colorway to the inspiration. Once the people at Nike SB saw the interview we were asked to take the interview down from our site as well as YouTube. Within two days the entire sneaker culture was calling Todd’s creation the Heaven’s Gate Dunk. For obvious reasons Nike wasn’t feeling the name nor the inspiration, so they scrapped them from the Nike SB Fall ‘08 line up and replaced them with the unFutura Dunks.

This left Nike SB heads with no shot at getting a pair, unless you were willing to pay Gumsoles $3,000 for a pair of HG samples you were out of luck. However, Summer 2009 Nike SB is offering a very similar Dunk that resembles the highly hyped Heaven’s Gate Dunk. Nicknames are never confirmed by Nike SB, but once the sneaker community names them the news spreads faster than rumors. The unHeavens Gate Dunk will make a great substitute for those that had their hearts set on owning the HG Dunks. via Jordan8420
