A History Of Nike SB Repeating Colorways

The Swoosh's new Anchorman-inspired Dunks look a lot like the Shanghai model from 2004, but it's not the first time colors were recycled.

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.
