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.

Post Commentwho took a dump at cb's crew? That mcdonalds never let anyone into the bathroom
U drop 160 on these and ur punk card has been revoked
They actually look pretty good, I figured they would have had graffiti all over them or a toilet on a throne.
Bleecker street is spelled wrong, quality control in China at an all-time high
Will these be assembled by 5 year old Chinese kids? If not, I am not buying.
Wait??? What the f*ck. I clicked on the link in the article to the supposed story about a Nike/korn collaboration and the story it takes you to is about a Korn shoe made my Adidas. How f*cking stupid are you? Like can you actually safely operate a motor vehicle or prepare an entire meal for yourself???
Looking forward to wearing these to my software engineering job during pride month
" Nike has previously done shoe collaborations with nu metal band Korn." yeah i love the korn song N.I.K.E.
Rick here. I came out the closet the other day. I'm gay. I love my boyfriend so much (though I love Nachos probably even more hahaha, and don't forget silver ice rockstar energy drinks!) I hate working at Walmart. Customers always make fun of my ugly ass face! I don't get it, man. I dress well. Backwards cap, Camouflage shorts, sneakers. I'm also obese of course, but that could NEVER BE the reason for making fun of me. Maybe it's because I smell like nachos? I eat Nachos 4 times a day. Whatever. I have a Date with my boyfriend later. Hope he f*cks me for the first time! I'm so STOKED!
