Skateboarding mainstays Nike SB have teamed up with the legendary Skate Park of Tampa to bring you the 'Gasparilla' Dunk High Premium- consisting of the classic Nike silhouette adorned in a whole host of Pirate honouring details.
This well considered collaboration see's homages to the annual Tampa Gasparilla Pirate Festival, an event that celebrates infamous Spanish pirate José Gaspar who was based there in the early 1900's.
The 'Gasparilla' Dunk High Premium features more obvious pirate-esque details such a tonally embroidered cross-swords on the toe box and the legendary skull and cross bones emblem woven onto the tongue label.
The real stand-out feature however lies in the collar of the shoe on which an array of multi-coloured threads are layered in a playful tribute to the classic companion of any famous pirate- the parrot. The threads are designed to fray with wear eventually resulting in a completely unique shoe that will be like no other.
The interior is where ye hidden treasure lies with a Nike SB branded loot print covering the insole and a luxurious velour-esque material covering the inside of the shoe- reminiscent of the lining on treasure chests that you might remember from any classic pirate movie.
Aside from the Pirate themed details the rest of the shoe sees a more muted colour palette with a black nubuck leather upper, black midsole with tonal stitching and a 3M reflective swoosh that appears mid-grey in regular light.
The only other blast of colour comes from the 'Chilling Red' oustole which sits nicely against the multi coloured "parrot" collar.
Nike SB Dunk High Premium 'Gasparilla' QS is available online and in our Bournemouth store now.
