Nike and Alexis Sablone have once again been hard at work in the SB lab, manipulating elements to create a new rendition of the coveted dunk but this time they’ve done the unthinkable – partnered with Converse Cons to produce a seldom-seen collaboration for the Olympics.

Sablone’s ability to bring worlds together knows no bounds by the looks of things. In the past, She’s merged art, academics and architecture with skating and this time she’s managed to pull together two industry juggernauts for a special release. The cons AS-1s and Dunks from this releases are pretty unique and definitely gunning for gold in the release of the year category.

Converse CONS AS-1 Pro Shoes White/Fuchsia Glow/White

The AS-1 Pro features a scale-patterned white leather and vibrant fuchsia suede details including the logo, heel tab and eyelets. While on the outside this skate shoe looks a like a pretty clean unassuming colourway of Sablone’s pro model, Converse and Sablone have cooked up something little more special with an undercoat of that magenta beneath the white that’s revealed over time. Basically, the more you skate them the more unique they’ll be.

Nike SB Dunk Low Oil Green/Desert Moss-White

This pair of dunk is a doozy! Similar to the AS-1 it features this sort of dino-come-fish scale pattern but Nike SB have decided to go buck-wild with it. These are nicknamed the chameleon dunk and with the green and moss scaling featured on all of the overlays you can see why. The Chameleon theme is taken further again with the fact that, yes you guessed it, these bad boys change colour over time as the top layers are worn down. Now, it’s up to you how you go about doing that but we’d recommend popping yourself down to Gooseside DIY and skating them to see the panels colour-shift in real time. A treat for the old peepers indeed.

There’s been plenty of “out there” dunks over the years and yes these may make the list too but we’re sticking our necks out and saying these just could be the dunk release of the year.
