From an interview with SlamXHype Nike SB ‘Nothing but the Truth’ Kevin Imamura Interview
Q: “As far as product is concerned, is there any products you have launching around the time of the film, we should look out for? What has been the main emphasis as far as product development goes in recent times?”
A: “There is a shoe coming out in each city that is hosting a premier. The shoe is called “WhattheDunk”. It, like our film, is a culmination of the last six years. But instead of it being our riders it is some of our best Dunks.” (more…)

Warhead has posted a great editorial on a look back at the Black Box era..
“The Black Box era. Love, hate, hype, the death of old favourites, the introduction of new ones. Personally I believe it has been the most important time in Nike SB history. After two years of black and purple this January we’ll switch to the ‘golden’ age, but before that let us look back on the Black Boxes. During the orange, silver and pink boxes Nike has been building. Their goal? Becoming a respected member of the skateboarding industry. After previous failed attempts this was their final oppertunity, now or never. They established a team of respected riders, supported local skateboardscenes and the shoes sold pretty good. The number one problem was the fact that most of the shoes weren’t bought by skaters. This hurt Nike’s image, even though a lot of people were happy that their favourite shop managed to stay in business because of the sneakerheads lining in front of the store for the new releases, those that actually wanted to skate the shoes were screwed. Prices were getting jacked and supplies were limited and you´d have to wait a full month for a new shipment to arrive.

‘Obviously a made up sneaker but funny as hell… I gotta hand it to the bootlegers, nice concept…’
We actually have heard somewhat of a confirmation of this sneaker actually existing, the one in the picture are a proof of concept most likely to have come from sample espionage. What we are hearing rumored around is they will be a Holiday 2007 release.
So it’s looking like these mashup fakes are actually gonna come to fruition, wouldn’t be the first time fakes appeared before actual real samples (ex. C&K dunks).
UPDATE: This shoe is in accordance to Nike SB’s video release “Nothing But The Truth” releasing middle October…. That is why they did this, to celebrate the past few years of dunk history….its not like Nike hasnt done this before, Jordan Spizzike a mash up of a few shoes into one….. but in SB’s case its colorways and materials rolled up into one.

And it’s another one of those… NikeSB.org exclusives. You’ve seen the shoes but now we show you the other stuff that the guys down at Nike SB have in store for early 2008. Additions for the backpack (plus a new colorway), more elephant print, Diamond re-issue socks, more hats, tees, hoodies, windbreakers, wallets, belts, boxers, beanies etc etc. One thing we are definitly feeling is the Dri-Fit tees. Nike already brought tech to your feet with the E-Cue, Tre and Tre A.D., now it’s time for your body. Everyone has had skating sessions on a hot day where your shirt was soaked with sweat within 15 minutes. Nike’s Dri-Fit technology will transport the sweat from your body to the upper of the tee where the heat will evaporate the sweat. Runners have been using this for a while now and the response is great. No more bringing back-up tees and towels to a session, this way you’ll stay fresh.
