Nike “Grip Tape” SB Dunk Low Custom Sneaker

Nike “Grip Tape” SB Dunk Low Custom Sneaker

Brad Douglas, the same person that shocked Supra fans everywhere with his “Zip It Up!” Supra Skytop, just got finished creating this wonderful pair of the “Grip Tape” SB Dunk Low Customs.

Normally, grip tape is used by skateboarders to add more friction to their skateboards and/or longborads for additional control. However, Brad’s local skate shop asked if he could apply the grip tape to a pair of SB Dunks, which resulted in the creation of these sick custom sneakers.

The sneaker features an upper made of predominately distressed white leather with sections of grip tape on the tongue, sides, toe, and around the ankle. White threading was used throughout the upper and to the maker’s surprise, blended in with the leather nicely and created a smooth “perforated contrast” stitching look. To top off the customs, Brad added some unique zebra fabric on the inner lining and tossed on a pair of black laces. See detailed pictures after the jump.

Nike Big Nike High [White / Cement] | Summer 2009

The Big Nike High first released way back in 1985 as a high-performance basketball shoe, which was tailored to the needs of the average ball player.

However, it was made famous by the towering 7′7” Center of the Houston Bullets, Manute Bol, who most certainly earned a title far beyond the simple words “average player”.

Nike is now planning to re-release the Big Nike High this year in a nice selection of colorways (Spring / Summer 2009). This particular style features a simple white leather upper with a heel covered in cement print and indented with the word “NIKE” on the back heel.
