The Brazilian division of Nike SB is set to release a series of three Nike SB Dunk Lows which pays homage to the musical portion of the skateboarding world. The designers of the series decided to travel back to the 80’s and 90’s to gather inspiration, because that was before the MP3 Player takeover when music was rooted to the streets. With that said, the designers chose the Sony Walkman, FITA K7 (Compact Cassette), and Headphones to best represent the three custom dunks. They all will release on Nov. 13th in select skate shops in Brazil and are limited to 480 pair each!!
Can we see a dope photoshoot with hot Brazilian chicks rocking these hot kicks?? Check inside for detailed look at all 3 along with matching tees.

There’s also a purple transparent Nike swoosh, a black nubuck toebox, and a midsole decorated with tags similar to the “A” and “B” labels found on cassette tapes, with written descriptions. An illustration showing the classic way of rewinding a tape with a pencil appears on the insoles.
