If you are looking for a rugged sneaker with a subtle touch, Nike has more to offer. Take a look at the latest Nike SB Dunk High Pro that’s treated with luxury detailing in an elegant revamp with the help of illustrator Todd Bratrud and Tampa’s skate shop, SPoT. Artist Todd Bratrud has its first recognition with Nike in 2006, when Nike Skateboarding released the “Send Help” version of the Nike Dunk shoe with his artwork, followed by another version in 2008. Today, Bratrud teamed up with Nike and shop SPoT for the newest rendition of the SB Dunk High Pro.

With Bratrud’s fine arts, this shoe resembles a ‘cigar’ concept that’s being obvious with the colors involved. The mixture of brown suede toe box and collar with the burgundy suede mudguard, lace panels, and heel unites a figure that is truly manly and passionate. The midpanel which is made of leather depicting special texture is an excellent background for the red Swoosh that’s being outlined with yellow. Brown laces and inner lining plus black midsole and grey outsole are the shoe’s additional components.

Sneakerheads are avid croc fans but what would be their possible reactions once they get to see the next Nike Blazer Mid? The expected feedback is much likely affirmative despite that the material used is not basically an original crocodile skin but leather with croc texture design.

The Nike Blazer Mid is one of the brand’s skateboarding models aligning its name next to the SB Dunk. Originally, it was first made as a basketball sneaker but is no longer used in its purpose but is often used as a casual sneaker and more recently, as skateboarding shoe. After the Nike SB was launched, the Blazer was modified with extra padding to make it more suitable for skateboarders. And to make a variation, it comes in high, mid, and low tops. Now this current drop is a much-anticipated color since red has been all around the sneaker world. The crocodile-textured upper is treated with white Swoosh, tongue branding, and midsole.

Back when Converse was first making their footprint in the sneaker industry for the first time they were pretty popular among skateboarders. There were many skaters that were wearing their sneakers while they skated to their destinations or just around the bowl while they practiced their moves. Over the years though the skateboard sneaker industry evolved and the previous shoes that were once regarded as great skate shoes were starting to be seen as casual wear sneakers as they are today. That doesn’t mean that Converse is out of the skateboard game for good though, as they have many more pairs like we are going to see today. This is the new Converse Skateboarding May 2011 Lineup.

Included in this lineup will be the Converse CTS and the Converse Trapasso, each one will offer a little something different but each one is very nice in its own way.
