Nike Dunk Hi SB Considered Design "Gucci" (Sam Smyth)

The "Gucci" dunk hi designed by Girl Skateboards team manager, Sam Smyth 4 years ago as part of the Nike SB Team Manager Series. The design was X-ed and Girl handed the project over to Diamond Supply Co.'s Nick Tershey which was at the time still a part of the Girl family. Nick designed the "Tiffany" dunk that is now known and voted as the greatest dunk ever made.


The Gucci dunk hi that Sam designed became one of the most sought out dunks ever with a handful of samples floating around and hitting auction prices of $5K on Ebay. This week, Nike SB releases the Gucci dunk hi that Sam Smyth designed but labeled as the first of Nike's Considered Design for Nike SB.
Big thank you to Tetsuya for my 9.5's.
