Taking a trip back a few years when the Mids had straps, here is a look at an unreleased sample of Nike SB Donatello Mids. The colorway differs quite a bit from the original version but still applies some of the same concepts in the design.

It’s certainly no secret that Nike SB is finally bringing out the Dunk High from the ‘Team Manager’ series later this year – the so-called ‘Gucci’ Dunk, thanks to the use of a colour combination largely associated with the high-end fashion brand.
The revelation of the imminent release has raised several big questions. One of which is how the 2009 version will differ from the 2005 samples, of which only around 29 exist. Revive has provided an answer with it’s detailed pics comparing the old samples with the new.
The new tongue is fatter, as are the SB laces, and there is generally more padding around the shoe. The denim appears smoother and less frayed but this could change with wear, especially if they come into contact with griptape.

After we exclusively revealed the catalogue pictures for the Nike SB Holiday ‘09 line up, Sneakerfiles has posted pictures of some of the sample shoes.
Here you can what looks like the green spark/hoop orange Dunk Low Premium, which already appears to have been altered from the catalogue image, as well as the royal blue/black Dunk Mid Pro, varsity red/white Dunk High Premium, hazelnut/light blue Crailtap/Skate Mental Dunk High Premium, midnight fog/midnight fog Zoom Bruin SB and, albeit out of focus, the black/white Zoom Classic High.
