Nike SB Buzz

Wednesday October 29, 2008
The latest Nike SB Quickstrike set to release mid-November has the Nike community buzzing. Dubbed the Mosquito, this Dunk Low Premium SB sneaker may or may not have been aptly named.

Unlike a typical mosquito, this SB Quickstrike sneaker features a green/vanilla/red/black colorway. Nike also chose an interesting combination of leather, patent leather, suede, nubuck and 3M materials to finish the sneaker. A cartoon-style mosquito sucking from a little pool of blood splatter is featured on the insole. Finally, on the outside of the sneaker and above the gum sole, is a series of speckled "blood" spatters to further play off of the mosquito theme.

This limited edition sneaker is available for pre-order online, on a first-come, first-served basis through the online store KixFiles. The sneaker's price is a bit of a sting - with smaller sizes starting at $125 and going upwards to $155 for the larger sizing. The sneaker releases officially on November 14th.
