It’s going to be a ‘Skinny Dunk’ kind of year as we have seen a number of new colorways since January. The latest look brings some ruggedness to the table with an anthracite canvas base and black leather toeguard. Seamed Nike swoosh swag finishes off this pair. Are you feeling this colorway? Check out more pairs after the jump. via Kicks-Crew.
More Easter-esque adorability (<–just made that up btw) for your viewing pleasure! The above-pictured Nike women’s Skinny Dunk High features the same cream colored knit upper as the Air Royalty Mid we posted earlier today, but it is only seen on the toe box and heel overlay. The remaining areas are covered in a textured matte grey leather. Mint colored ribbon laces, lining and outsole are a nice treat and remind me of the pastel jelly beans I used to get in my Easter basket, lol. We suspect the “knit pack” to arrive at retailers in the coming weeks, so check back with us for more deets. via Atmos Girls.
It’s certainly not Spring yet, but we can anticipate the season being warmer than usual if we continue to get hot releases like the two pairs you see above. Hitting shelves now are two new Nike Skinny Dunk Highs, each featuring a mix of canvas and leather. One totes a beach and shale colorway which mirrors that of the women’s Air Max 90 we posted a while ago, while the other sports a grey and julep green ensemble. The signature Nike check is embroidered on the side panels of each in a contrasting shade. Both pairs retail for $85 and are available right now at Finishline.
Early Saturday morning, sneakerheads and sneaker enthusiasts braced the cold Chicago air in an effort to score items from one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, the Nike Doernbecher Freestyle collection. Camping out is definitely a ritual, with some folks waiting in line for up to two days in advance, but the Doernbecher release is special because it supports the children of OSHU Doernbecher Children’s Hopsital in Oregon. This year’s event was unique because it marked the first time the collection of footwear was available in both men’s and grade school sizes. To commemorate, Niketown Chicago displayed decorative boards featuring pictures of the child designers and information about them. At 7am, patrons were allowed into the store to purchase pairs from the collection in addition to learning more about the annual program. The Niketown Chicago staff worked quickly (and efficiently!) to get guests in and out in a timely manner. They were also gracious enough to have free breakfast treats from Panera Bread available, which went about as swiftly as the Doernbecher Air Jordan 4! I really enjoyed my time at the event – from meeting the staff to talking to the customers. Despite what everyone went through to obtain their shoes, they were all in good spirits, because we know that the children of Doernbecher Hospital are battling something more severe than the weather, and from their efforts they’ve given us something we’ll love and enjoy forever.
Special thanks to Jose, Monica, and the entire Niketown Chicago staff. See you next year!

You might recall that I nearly went coo-coo for cocoa poofs (yeah, poofs) in the write up for the “Tweed” Nike Skinny Dunk Hi back in October. We now we have delightful detailed shots of this baby and I am MORE in love with them than before. Black tweed dresses the upper of this skinny preme with multi-colored thread nuanced throughout the material. iAdore these! Although I haven’t seen these in stores yet, I’m happy to report that they are available for purchase online at boutiques like Stolkhom’s Sneakers N Stuff.

Another Vac-Tech Dunk High for women will be hitting shelves next month, showing the boys that we can rock VT just as well as they can! Featuring black tweed upper (with what looks to be various colorful threads), these are very dope. Quite understated, but they can be accentuated with endless outfit possibilities! iDig.
