Nike releasing CBGB Dunks to commemorate legendary NYC venue

Nike have unveiled a brand new CBGB-themed pair of Dunk Lows meant to honor the legacy of the New York City venue. A release date hasn't been set yet, but expect them soon.
Find further details here.
Originally founded as a "Country, Blue Grass, and Blues" club, CBGB emerged in the 1970s-80s as a hub for up-and-coming punk, new wave, and alternative rock bands in New York City. Bands like Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, and later acts such as Agnostic Front, Gorilla Biscuits, Cro-Mags, and more were all mainstays of the venue. It closed in 2006.
Here's what Nike had to say about the upcoming shoe:
Now, nearly 20 years later, Nike pays homage to CBGB's legacy with a special Dunk Low "CBGB." The design draws heavily from the venue's gritty interior and unmistakable aesthetic. Torn and grunge-inspired textures cover the upper, reminiscent of the club's poster-laden walls. Branding at the heel and tongue nods to the iconic CBGB logo font, while inner tongues feature street signs for Bleecker and Bowery—the intersection where the club once stood, cementing its place in New York history.
