'LARRY PERKINS' DUNK LOW PREMIUM SB
More information has surfaced about the Dunk Low Premium SB, previously referred to in the blogosphere as the 'Chirping Bird' Dunk. The shoe was pictured (albeit momentarily) on the February release page of the Nike SB website, with the colourway attributed to Larry Perkins.
The Atlanta Got Sole blog has shed some more light on who Larry is...
“Larry Perkins” is a fictitious character from about 5 years ago. This character was a self proclaimed “Best and most under rated skateboarder alive” he did a bunch of prank calls and fake skate interviews for Big Brother (owned at the time by Larry Flint publications).
According to the blog, the chirping noise has been replaced with that of a ringing telephone – a reference to the prank calls made by Larry to various skate companies and magazines. Helpfully, Atlanta Got Sole links to a selection of such calls from Skate Park of Tampa.
Whether you think it's a good or bad thing, Spanish store Paxanga has confirmed that the European release will not make any noise when the tongue is pressed. This is apparently due to the chip not having a European patent.
The removal of the Dunk from the February page on the Nike SB site could mean that a longer wait might be in store for those of you after a pair, so keep an eye on your local skate shop or the N-SB forum thread for info.

waste of time
these are weaksauce.
where can i cop these online?
They replaced the chirp with a Ringing Phone sound…they lost my money. What a shame, what a shame.
Ur weaksause these r awesome!
These are dope. But yeah I preferred them with the chirping.
wtf does a phone ring have to do with a bird. makes no sense to me but i havent got them yet
Stop crying over the chirping
W.e. These are straight fire, the denim on them look so nice. Throw some white laces on these and its a done deal.
The fur is ehh but over all the shoe is nice
White laces? You can’t be serious. And im not crying. The shoe was said to chirp. The video showed them chirp. They were known as the chirps as far as i know. Now what? The Rings? Then they give them to so fake skater. It’s lame. They killed the hype. The fur is the best part of the shoe now that it doesn’t chirp. Done deal?
What’s the bird feathers/fur gotta do w/ anything if they removed the chirp??
Ya’ll are trippin’ these are tight. Ima cop two pairs cause you know these are gonna be good trade bait next year.
You’ve gotta love the Internets!
I don’t care if they make a farting sound they are hands down my favorite SB for a long time. And yea white laces would make them look soooo fresh!!!
mr.e said they killed the hype. lol!
now we kno he’s a hypebeast. smh.
Good thing I got my sample a month ago! They got the chirp! Which means there worth more than the 365 I paid!
Wooptie freakin dooo! Im glad u paid that much money! Because ill be walking around with the exact same show!!! For like 80-90 dollars lol dude its not like im gonna see a dude in the street with the same shoe and have a clint eastwood showdown and whoevers shoe chirps is the winner lol its all about aesthetics buddy!!! U paid 270-280 dollars more for a chirpin tiny speaker that cost like a dollar to make lol sorry man!
@ mr.zel ^^haha^^ aint that true and GLOER you a dummy. also the chirps are now a march QS
Ha. The chirp would be sick, but if you walk around chirping your shoes all day, you’re a freaking tool. trim that fur and stuff that tongue? copped.
ugh. they really did kill the hype with the ringing. the chirping completed the concept of the shoe, and now its gone.
these are gonna go hard once i unstuff them like my heini’s and cali’s too bad for the chirp though…
Who un-stuffs cali’s or heinekens?? WTF is wrong with this dude?
My boy was just in LA and picked them up 4 me at flight club… Anybody know how flight club might have gotten them? The ringing gets annoying. Any sound would get annoying!
Idk I won’t cop unless I got sum real cash n I only like en cuz at least sb got a lil creative with the sound n fur their other sbs r mad plain
you guys got to understand that any shoe, let alone sb, that makes a sound is dope. and the shoe itself looks sexy.. when do they come out though???
must, got mine few weeks back now
I am pretty sure the main draw back of using ASP.Net on this blog is that it sorta slows up the processing unlike PHP. Just what I’ve found to be true.
