This is not an official Green Bay Packers shoe, because Reebok holds the rights for the NFL. For those of you not familiar with sports in America, the Green Bay Packer are an American Football team from Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers are a dominating force in the NFL and are in contention for the Super Bowl this year; they are also my favorite team. These shoes aren’t affiliated with the team, but the color way exactly matches the team color; they’ve been unofficially dubbed the Nike SB Dunk “Green Bay Packers.” These shoes are a mix of dark army green and white, with gold accents. I prefer shoes to be a subtle homage, then a direct advertisement for the team. I would rather find a shoe with my teams colors, then buy a shoe made specifically for my team; that’s just the way my style works. The shoes works great with really dark or rinse jeans and a junk food or retro sport Packers t-shirt. I do own these shoes and they are very comfortable, compared to other mid and high top shoes. They fit exactly like any other dunks you own, so go with whatever size you currently own. They were not an exclusive, so they’re still probably available, just Google the name and look for the best deal. Always look for places that offer coupon codes or free shipping. The SB’s are only sold at shops who also sell skateboards primarily, so you options may be limited. I purchased mine at Tactics Board Shop, but they are sold out now and after researching only select stores are still carrying these shoes. Flight Club La has them for sale from $60 to $75 depending on size. So if you are a true fan of a team and want to represent them in a fashionable manner, then pick these up or look for shoes in your team’s colors. Who knows they might make a shoe in you team’s colors. I was hoping for a Packer’s win today, but the Atlanta Falcons got lucky!
