Nike SB Dunk High ‘Cigar City’ - September 17, 2011

EXCLUSIVE to The Skate Park of Tampa is this beautifully crafted Nike Dunk High Premium made to look like a cigar. And for the select few that are down there in Tampa, FL they can be purchased inside the super duper awesome looking/cigar box inspired box. The rest of the country will get them in a regular Nike SB box. So, some might ask, what's skateboarding got anything to do with CIGARS?
Well here is your answer, this Dunk was made for Skate Park of Tampa for being a TRUE BLUE skate store and Nike SB recognizes that there are not many of those left in this country. Since some of the purveyor of Nike SB products are sneaker boutiques who caters to the sneaker-headz, SPoT is one that always serves the skateboarding community first and foremost before any of the sneakerheadz, and thats truly what Nike SB is all about. So, to celebrate SPoT's awesomeness, they collaborated with Nike SB and the Cigar theme came to fruition. And how did they pick cigars as their inspiration behind the design? Well SPoT is located in Tampa, FL, in the Ybor City region/neighborhood where many of the city fine cigars manufacturers started back in the late 19th century and the area then established itself as a national landmark as being the place where cigars are made in Tampa, FL. It made sense that the cigars became the inspiration behind the this special collaboration.
