Sale price£94.95

Nike SB x Black Sheep Black Hornet Dunk High Pro QS black/black-dark grey-metallic silver shoes. Nike SB and Black Sheep Skate Shop (Charlotte, NC, USA) have teamed up again to celebrate the intersection of Skate and Sneaker culture with a collaboration set to launch during the 2019 NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte. The city of Charlotte was nicknamed “a hornets nest of rebellion” during the Revolutionary War, and Black Sheep’s latest Nike SB collaboration pays tribute to this raucous spirit and the ethos of skateboarding. The “Black Hornet” Dunk High features an iridescent leather upper which shifts from teal to purple in the light – paying homage to the iconic colours popularized by the Charlotte Hornets during the early 90’s. Elephant print panels take inspiration from classic SB releases of the past and give a nod to Michael Jordan, basketball legend and owner of the Hornets franchise. The shoes sport a smooth black leather swoosh that is highlighted with contrasting silver embroidery in the shape of a stinger, one of many unique details that connect to the city’s roots and inspiration for the shoe. The tongue is constructed using a tonal, black on black nylon mesh and features a hex “hive” pattern. The underside of the ear flaps reveal a “hornet wing” print while the custom metal honeycomb shaped eyelets provide additional detail. The sock liners feature the official NBA logo and a “hornet’s nest” graphic. Zoom Air unit in the sockliner is springy and responsive. Circular tread provides multidirectional grip. Cupsole construction is exceptionally durable. BQ6827-001
