Designed in collaboration with DJ Clark Kent, Nigel Sylvester's second sneaker from Nike (the first was a 6.0 Mavrk) is a super-lux SB Dunk High done up in black suede with Safari accents, metallic Swooshes and a gum bottom. But it's not just regular black suede. "Instead of using a regular black suede I chose Euphoria nubuck which is only used on Nike Bespoke Air Force Ones," Sylvester says. "I feel the black Euphoria really sets off the Dunk because it lined up perfectly with my vision of a luxury material that's also functional—it feels great to the touch and automatically separates this Dunk from most other sneakers." As for that "S.O.M.P." tag, that stands for "Stand on My Pedals." Because not all SBs are for skateboarders.

Look for them to drop at selected Nike SB retailers on Saturday, March 8.
