As the first shoe in Nike's skate line, the Dunk Low SB took the '80s basketball model and turned it into an iconic skate shoe. This version, the Dunk Low SB Premium 'Newcastle Brown Ale' sneaker, revamped the silhouette with a beer-inspired design. The June 2008 release is constructed with layered overlays that are dressed in colors that take inspiration from the UK brewer's label, as well as the color of the beer itself.
