The Nike SB Dunk High “De La Soul” is a now-rare colorway of the skate shoe that pays homage to the pioneering hip-hop group of the same nickname. Originally released back in November 2005, the “De La Soul” SB Dunk High’s design is inspired by the album artwork of De La Soul’s “3 Feet High and Raising” studio album from 1989. Specifically, hand drawn flowers appear on the shoe’s heel overlay while a green leather Swoosh is found on either side and green laces appear on the brown mesh tongue. Plush Baroque Brown-colored suede forms the base of the shoe. Green elephant print is found on the toe cap, forefoot, and eyelet panels. Head shots of De La Soul members Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Maseo are incorporated into the look of the heel overlay. The Nike SB Dunk High “De La Soul” is one of the most sought-after Nike SB Dunk releases of all time.
