Stones Throw Records celebrated their 10th anniversary with a collaboration with Nike SB and an artist under their label, Quasimoto. This SB Dunk High was designed for the members of Stones Throw and revolves around Quasimoto featuring his logo at the heel along with a dark oak and blue colorway. There are a lot of components that goes into this sneaker including a variety of materials that makes up the toe-box and side panels. The dark oak swoosh also sports an interesting pattern. Finishing off the Quasimoto Dunk High is the Stones Throw logo on the insole. Unfortunately, the Quasimoto Dunk High was given to some of the members of the record company and won’t be releasing in stores anytime soon. However, they do pop-up every now and then and you can find a pair now on eBay.

The Air Jordan Defining Moments Package (DMP) was definitely one of the best sneaker packages to ever release. The DMP consisted of the Air Jordan 6 (VI) DMP and the Air Jordan 11 (XI) DMP, two of the most sought after Air Jordan sneakers upto date. What most people are not aware of is the fact that Jordan Brand was going to make the DMP package contain three pairs of sneakers and retail at $500. The third sneaker that was planned to release was the Converse Pro Leather All-Star sample that is shown above. There was an extremely limited quantity of the Converse samples produced and they were all never made available to the public. This Converse Pro Leather All-Star features a white and gold colorway which is highlighted by the “23″ on the heel in Carolina Blue and the image of Michael Jordan making the game winning shot to win his first NCAA championship ever on the heel as well. Making this pair even more special is the fact that Michael Jordan himself wore the Converse Pro Leather All-Stars throughout his college career with the North Carolina Tarheels. These were never released to the public and will most likely never be released in the future either. Via RIF.

Nike SB’s Spring 2009 line is no mystery due to photos of several different models and styles surfacing the internet. Take some time to enjoy one more model that is scheduled to be released next Spring, it is this sample SB Classic made up of a brown base with mint highlights. This combination perhaps is in reference to a box of Junior Mints. A type of candy which consists of small amounts of mint inside of a dark chocolate coating. Whatever the case may be, its back story will be updated as we approach the release date next year. Via SC.

Earlier today, we featured a preview of many Nike Dunk Lows that will be releasing in 2009. Of that bunch, we now have pictures of a pair of Nike Zoom Air Dunk Low’s that feature a light pink upper with very delicate detailing. At first look, this pair may just be seen as a Nike Dunk Low with a pink upper and a white swoosh, but after looking a bit closer, the eyes will surely pick up on the delicate detailing that makes this pair special. The details in this Nike Zoom Air Dunk Low yield pictures of leaves, flowers and thorns on what appears to be a light pink leather upper. Though it is only a sample for now, this pair will most likely hit the market sometime in 2009. Via NT.
