Nike Skateboarding will be releasing a special edition Nike SB Dunk Low that pays homage to the Grateful Dead Bears, which was a series of stylized dancing bears drawn by Bob Thomas as part of the back cover for the album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear’s Choice) in 1973
This pair is one of three “Grateful Dead Bears” colorways that will be releasing as part of a pack similar to the “Three Bears” pack from 2006. Each shoe features a fuzzy, faux fur upper with suede overlays and a jagged Swoosh as a nod to the bear’s jester collars. Finishing details includes a stash packet behind the tongue to store your special belongings.
Look for the Grateful Dead x Nike SB Dunk Low styles to release this Summer 2020 at select skate shops and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $110 USD each.
UPDATE 7/30: Nike releases official photos of the Grateful Dead x Nike SB Dunk Low “Orange Bear” colorway that released on July 18th exclusively at FTC Skateboarding in San Francisco. A wider release could be coming soon to SNKRS. Stay tuned.
