Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Space Jam” Closer Look

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 12:58 PM PDT

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro "Space Jam"

Following the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro "Space Jam" & Air Jordan 11 Comparison we showed you last week, we now take a closer look at the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Space Jam”. Whether this Dunk Low Pro is the Nike SB of the year remains to be seen, but we can definitely mark this creation as a top 10 when the year ends. Its design mimics the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11 to the tee. The black patent leather/mesh upper is contrasted nicely by the varsity royal Nike branding on the tongue and insole. Lastly, the white midsole and icy blue outsole further connect with the classic Jordan. View detailed photos below.
