Those Nike Dunk SPD BMX shoes are out...

$100 and the other colours are worse than the Olympic team ones... fail.
How did they fuck that up.

all they had to do was get a couple of nice colourways on the go and it would've been as sweet as a carrot... double blagh.

Damn, they could have been really good.

http://www.sneakerwank.com/ has the story behind this.

i like the blue starry ones.

they all look gay

on the subject of shoes, anyone interested a pair of the infra red 90s in a 8? worn for a few hours inside of offspring (where I work).

on the subject of offspring, went there yesterday, did a bit of that cheech & chong routine with the staff... dave?... dave's not here!

ahhh i thought i'd seen you in there... think i spotted you at the lock tavern as well a few weeks ago but wasn't sure so didn't say owt.

I think apart from the Black, they are in the USA, China, and Japan team colours - i hear Vans are bringing out something similar too

DIY, have any colourway and style you want.

clipless crocs?

“Looks like a dunk, but acts like Lance’s cleat.” That statement sums up the power and impact of the Nike Dunk Gyrizo, a shoe specifically designed for BMX racing. The Gyrizo, which is Greek for wheel, is actually built on the same cycling last as Lance Armstrong’s cleat. The external portion of the shoe looks like Nike’s wildly popular Dunk model, but the design of the internal plate transfers power in the up and down strokes of the rider. A strap on the upper and a lace pocket keep laces out of the rider’s spokes while a durable outsole compound was integrated to accommodate a wider bike pedal. Kevlar lace and metal grommets are also used to maximize durability. Rubber and thinner midsole on the shoe allow a rider to walk easily before and after races.
The outcome is a shoe that does not only look good, but is functional at the same time, and more you cannot ask for. We also hear rumors, that the design of the shoe has been done by TET of WTAPS."

I like the red ones, might order me a pair of those! :)

bollox

bollox

why?

I doubt Olympic athletes would be using them if they were just a Dunk with a stiffer sole and a cleat

I ride Dunk SB's on my bike, never had any trouble nor have I had any of my laces trap in the spokes.

Oh and they look gash.

Yeah, I'm not sure who told you that TET or whatever designed the shoe.. cause he didnt..
The Dunk SPD, has a cycling plate in it, with modified midsole and outsole. Its not like
a regular dunk, as its has a softer moulded Phylon (like the presto Dunk) side wall, not a Cupsole. In short, you get better pedal feel, more cushion. The models shown were specifically for the Olympics only, hence the proper shit colours. Good shit to follow..

I forgot to say, I've been riding them for the past week.. they are a good cross between
riding flats and clipping in..

once again i would like to relay my hate for all things dunk,
if i were in london i would have had those infras off you slaytanic!

sweet. i want some, i wear nike dunk sb for riding on flats anway... where can you get them from?
