Keeping with the canvas/suede styles of Nike SB’s upcoming Spring 2009 models, this Dunk Mid features a nice bright but congruous colorway. The front portion of the sneaker is french blue canvas, while the heel is yellow suede. As you can see, the heel contains a Charlie Brown-like zig-zag design. The pair also comes with round, brown dress laces. There is no word yet about when or if this pair will release but expect it to be a Spring 2009 release. via NikeSB.org / Gumsoles

The Nike Sharkley is one of the many enduring legacies of the great Charles Barkley. A shoe designed for both indoor and outdoor use on the court, the styling of these shoes is definitely pretty unique.
