Nike SB Zoom Air Dunk High ‘Mint Chocolate Chip’ Sample | Size 9

Produced in 2006 in extremely limited quantities, this Nike SB Dunk High ‘Mint Chocolate Chip’ never saw a public release. 

Dressed in predominantly black leather and suede upper, this sample features green pebbled leather on the mid panels. The eye stays, interior lining, outsole, and tongue, are also featured in a matching green. The heel, mid panel, toe box, and Swoosh are dressed in black, employing both leather and suede.  

The shoe features sample stickers on the insoles. The stickers denote the pair's completion date as 11/02/2006.

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reworked the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials, and whimsical highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts – often with a sense of humor – through its Nike Dunks. From designs that range from beer bottles to guitar cases, to horror films, jewelry, animals, arts and cities – the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
