The Flax SBs were my last SB dunk, and these Nike SB Dunk Low Navy Gum are another pair that didn’t release in the US!

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 Mid Orange Label Review
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.

While the Ben & Jerry SBs were based off the Chunky Monkey flavor, another flavor they could have gone with is Cherry Garcia. No need though, because instead we get these Nike SB Dunk Low Grateful Dead Green Bears.

The Ben & Jerry SBs were my last SB pickup and were pretty tough to get. Back to some GR’s (also tough to get apparently). These Nike SB Dunk Low Muslin Hennessy are somewhat reminiscent of Hennessy cognac.
