A History Of Nike SB Repeating Colorways

Bradley — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:54:39 +0000

Images are all over the Internet hyping Nike SBs “Ron Burgundy” Dunk Low, a sneaker that is hitting retail this month. The sneaker takes inspiration from Will Ferrell’s character from Anchorman (which we voted as the funniest movie of all time), and it looks quite nice. Unfortunately for those holding down a pair of super limited Nike SB Dunk Low Shanghais, these are almost the same thing. Does this drop the value of your kicks? Probably, but you should have skated them anyway, so file that under a “Y.P.”.

Nike SB prides itself on never repeating colorways, so the “Ron Burgundys” are kind of a way around re-creating the Shanghais. Hit the jump for our favorite repeats, ’cause keeping the O.G.s isn’t only difficult, it’s retarded.

Joe — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:49:06 +0000

This year's X-Games were awesome, and now that they're officially a wrap, and riders have taken home hardware and headaches (hope you're feeling better Danny Way), Complex wanted to remember the games with an old-fashioned click-fest where you can vote on who skated (some pros included are P-Rod, Jereme Rogers, Tony Trujillo and Shaun White) in the hottest sneakers.

The contest is a simple as it gets: Vote the most number of times for the sneaker you think that will win the competition and you'll take home the grand prize of the 16 featured shoes in your size. That’s right, no limitations on how many times you can vote. There are also sick daily prizes for the person who went on the biggest voting spree of the day. To enter the contest click HERE.
