Dark Knight

Finally found a pair of the Batman dunk mids.  Although I expected there to be a little more yellow (such as the stitching) they are still undeniably fresh.  The shoe resembles the original Batman colors using a dark grey over most of the shoe with a black swoosh, and black laces.  The inside panels feature a bright yellow to represent Batman's utility belt.  I think Nike did a wonderful job in recapturing the Caped Crusader's original colorway and these are by far, my favorite dunks.

I recently stumbled across these "Xbox Dunks" while searching for a new pair.  These are a custom pair that are not being sold as far as I know.  However these may be some of the most creative customs I've ever seen.


Avenger

The Avenger dunks were first released in 2005 and were relatively unpopular at the time.  Nowadays they are a highly sought after shoe due to their rarity.  There are two versions of the shoe featuring different colorways as well as different leather materials.  The blue avengers feature a navy toe with ocean cyan pinstripes while the purple version feature a black toe with purple pinstripes.  Both shoes come with laces that match the pinstripes flawlessly to make the shoe POP.  Each shoe was made with patent leather as well as the original style we have become accustomed to.


The blue avengers shown above feature the patent leather while the purple avengers use the regular leather.

The Crustaceans

The Lobster dunks are a rather rare shoe that many members of the sneakerhead community have sought after for years.  Nike noticed how popular the shoe had become and over the years released two new colorways.  The original Lobster dunks of course mimicked the reddish hue of a cooked lobster, featured a picnic blanket design on the inside lining and came with the same type of rubberbands that are placed on a live lobster's claws to add to the design.  The second colorway took a new image using the color blue but still retained the original picnic blanket the design but also used the same new blue colorway.  Most recently Nike has released the yellow version of the Lobster dunks.  It is fully yellow but uses the same red used in the original shoe.  These dunks also use the picnic blanket lining but, like the original, uses red instead of yellow.
