Nike SB released the "Melvin" edition in two high top styles, a white and a black colorway. Its design was inspired by an American rock band from the early 80's, The Melvins. Melvins are a Pink Box series Nike SB Dunk High. I am going to be writing about the black Melvins. They were release date was September 9, 2005. The black Melvins feature a skull and bones on the toe box, and writings embossed onto the side panels and heel of the shoe. It also features a crimson outsole. They retailed for ninety dollars and now market for around $250-300. Black Melvins are a really nice heated shoe. They are a bit harder to find than the white edition, though I would prefer the white editions over the black.
