These sneakers were
very controversial when they were released because of the hot pink fur. I’m not sure which one turned people the most
against these sneakers, the fur or the pink.
Either way it was okay with me because it made it easier to buy them. Though I would never consider buying a pair
of sneakers with hot pink fur on the ankle support, this was an exception
because it was well executed by Nike SB.
Call me whatever you want, but I’m a sucker for sneakers inspired by
other products.
These sneakers were
inspired by a vintage Gibson guitar case.
The guitar case would usually have a hard leather shell, with pink fur
inside. This sneaker was released as
part of a music series pack. In my
opinion the Gibsons were the best release of this pack. Beyond the concept of the sneaker, the most
important reason I bought these sneakers was because of the leather. The leather reminded me of the handmade 25th
anniversary Air Force 1’s. The leather
on the Gibson’s is soft and luxurious.
Great concept, and quality materials is the reason why Gibsons SB’s have
now become a highly sought-after sneaker.
