The BLACK SHEEP X NIKE DUNK HIGH SB PRO is the first successful collaboration between the North Carolina skate shop and the brand. The two are calling it the ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ and, as the name suggests, there is more than meets the eye with this particular silhouette.

The kicks are clad in a ‘vintage’-style textured suede that’s in a ‘Summit White’ colourway – just like sheep’s wool. A white tongue and white leather Nike Swoosh continue the clean, tonal look albeit with an understated level of material contrast. The white upper is offset by a blacked-out midsole, with an eye catching red contrast stitching and outsole. Black and red Nike labeling on the tongue complete the classic look. The wolf? That’s where it gets interesting –  after continued wear, the white in the swoosh is designed to rub off and reveal a hidden graphic of wolf fangs. Additionally, the footbeds feature custom artwork of a snarling wolf with bloody fangs and red eyes peering out from inside the shoes.

We said this is the first ‘successful’ partnership between Black Sheep and Nike, as the two have collaborated before on a different Nike Dunk High SB. The shoe’s design was inspired by Gucci but unfortunately the luxury brand was rumoured to be uncomfortable with Black Sheep’s take on its distinctive imprint – it looked a little too much like the real thing – so it was pulled before going on sale. We’re very happy that Black Sheep have reentered the fray with Nike on this splendid looking and novel take on a skate classic.
