LIMO NIKE FOOTBALL DUNK
Limosine's Nike SB Dunk promo video
Limosine collaborate with NIKE SB to make a really sexy new SB Dunk skate shoe. Max Palmer could be wearing Lonsdale's, and I'd approve, but these American football-textured leather Dunks are the first Dunk release I've wanted for a while, and you get five pairs of laces, which is a cool feature. They're still not cheap at £120, but they are stylish.
