Nike SB Dunk Low Hawaii

Rare Nike Dunk #3 This sneaker is highly debatable on our list to most readers probably. The reason we list the Nike SB Dunk Low Hawaii kicks is because at the time of its release, it was definitely classic. The metallic chipped, red soles and patent leather body are incredible. Few dunks have had such premium materials in one release and these should be hailed as one of the most valuable dunks ever in our opinion.

Entiteld the SB Dunk Hawaiis, these kicks were themed after the idea of Hawaiin volcanoes. The black patent leather body represents hardened molten lava, while the orange and red represent flowing molten lava. On the back of the shoe is the main island of Hawaii with a star for the capital city location.
