My last Nike pickup were the Celadon Dunk Lows. Keeping the SB collection going, I now have these Nike SB Dunk High TV Signal.

Nike SB’s site refers to this time as the “Striped” era thanks to the rainbox colored quickstrike boxes from this time. To me though, this is the Purple Box era. We got some modern legend-style releases from this time such as the Chunky Dunkys, Travis Scotts and Grateful Deads. I remember the releases for those three pairs being crazy!
The resurgence of Nike SB in terms of hype began around the end of the Teal Box era, and continued to ramp up during this time.
Nike SB had pretty much standardized the ankle padding and shape by this time, and many of the GRs (general releases) began to have that signature stiffly padded feel.
While this time period represented the modern pinnacle of SB hype, the popularity of the SB Dunk is still going strong partially from the momentum gained during this time.
Nike SB came in the purple boxes from 1/2020 – 3/2023

Nike SB Dunk Low Celadon & Red Plum Review
I’ve been on a roll with the dunk pickups lately. The Nike SB Dunk Low Celadon is seemingly based on the early ’90s Nike ACG Caldera Plus hiking boots. Meanwhile, the Red Plums are based off the 1992 “Plum” ACG Air Terra release.
Nike SB Dunk Low Pink Pig Review
I’ve been on a roll with the dunk pickups lately. These Nike SB Dunk Low Pink Pig are based on the all-pink Porsche 917/20, which raced at Le Mans 1971.

The last dunk I reviewed were the Doraemons, and now we’re going for a sneaker that is not based off a TV show. Instead, we get my first dunk mids in a long time, these Nike SB Dunk Mid Orange Label. The colorway is strongly reminiscent of the Griptape Mid SB Dunks that released a few times over the years.
