Probably the last new shoe you’ll see in Momentum Marketplace this July, Nike SB’s Dunk Hi “Chrome Ball Incident”.
“…inspired by the Airwalk Enigma which was allegedly designed by 80’s skate legend Neil Blender. The shoe features an embroidered pair of scissors which is a reference to the practice of chopping down hightops to a more skate friendly midtop, as street skating progressed. Chrome Ball Incident , for those who don’t skate, is a blog (http://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/) dedicated to all that is legit through the history of street skating in the US.”
With muted yellow/mustard(ish) and brown(?) panels, this Dunk reminds me of a time when every SB out was basically greatness. Maybe that time is returning to us as Nike has just reincorporated their signature fat tongue on the Low of the same name. Regardless of my inability to discern some of the colors of this shoe, the Chrome Ball Incident rests upon a black midsole/outsole which matches the Swoosh, laces, and lining. Like I said, these SB’s remind me of a better time — Grade 10 when MF Dooms came out — the scissors and “ball” features on the outside panels only solidify that fact.
