In addition to featuring the Fall 2011 Footwear & Apparel line-up at the Bright Tradeshow, Nike SB took the opportunity to bring its Nike SB Dunk Pro Book to life by creating a mini-exhibit in a museum-style set-up with actual Nike SB artifacts to go along with the summary of the book. The Nike SB Dunk has had a long and particularly storied history, with each SB Dunk release carrying its own fun and convoluted story. Take for example the eBay Charity Dunk that was sawed into four pieces, or the scrapped Freddy Kruegers that still somehow made it out to the public. The focus also goes on the Nike SB team riders from past and present, like Danny Supa, Gino Iannucci, Dan Shimizu, and Eric Koston. DunkBar has provided a nice first-hand look at the great set-up so take a look at the extended gallery below and let us know which Nike SB Dunk is your favorite of all time. If you’re still trying to get the Nike SB Dunk Pro Book, you can grab a copy on eBay. Via Sneaker News

UNI WATCH Uncovers A Major MLB Cap Discovery
UNI WATCH has uncovered a Major League Baseball piece of trivia. Among baseball history buffs it is commonly known that the A’s coaches and managers wore White caps during the Charlie Finley era. It comes up all the time, and it even figured prominently in a piece that appeared on Uni Watch six weeks ago. But the A’s players never wore White caps during Finley’s Green and Gold reign. Whether in Kansas City or in Oakland, players during the Finley era always wore Green caps – or did they? The shot above is from a 1967 A’s/Tigers game in Kansas City. The two A’s in the photo are pitcher Blue Moon Odom and first baseman Ray Webster. As you can see, they’re both White-hatted. Via Strictly Fitteds

Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ – OG Sample


In a 2011 when we already know to expect at least three other Air Jordan VII Retro releases, one stands out as the biggest. But just how did the AJ7 ‘Bordeaux’ become one of this year’s most highly anticipated releases? Probably has a little something to do with the fact that this colorway epitomizes early ’90s color palettes, but we’ve only been teased by a sample back in 2001 that never made it to production. So we’ve been waiting for this shoe to re-release for nineteen years, which means the samples in these new photos are even older than that! A deadstock pair of Air Jordan 7 Bordeaux OG samples is the type of thing that’d require a wide screen for viewing in eBay, but instead of emptying your bank account on a shoe you’ll probably never even get the chance to bid on, just check out the pics. via Foot Locker & Sneaker News atmos x nano universe x Reebok Insta Pump Fury
The Reebok Insta Pump Fury is something of a staple for Japanese collaborations, and here’s another Asia-exclusive sure to have US sneakerheads working their overseas connects. The atmos x nano universe x Reebok Insta Pump Fury fits right in with the big spring 2011 themes, sticking to a super simple black/white colorway that’s still pretty interesting to look at thanks to a variety of materials. Horsehair and patent leather ain’t the type-a stuff the Insta Pump Fury was designed for, but then again, you probably won’t be practicing your tempo runs in these anyway. via atmos & Sneaker News
