Day of the Dead Pack 09- Dunk Low

Clearly, I’m a week late…again. I’ve been pretty busy, especially with the launch of the NBA season. A couple of posts ago, I featured the AF1 Savage Beast, which was part of Nike’s Halloween ‘09 collection. Ofcourse, the Swoosh had to come up with a couple more kicks to make this year’s Halloween a little cooler. The Day of the Dead Pack has been there for Nike the past few years and this year, they came up with three pairs.

All three pairs carry the same colorway- black, white, purple, green, and orange. For Dunk fans, you should be happy with the release. I personally like the Dunk High better than the Low. The black base just makes sense, especially for the occasion. The Air Max 90 on the other hand, is a distant cousin of the earlier DOD packs released. It’s alright, but it doesn’t get me all amped up. If the shoe carried the same cobweb/skull pattern as the Dunks, it would’ve looked way better. This pack btw, is a quickstrike. So think about it. Is it worth it? Maybe. Will you lose sleep if you don’t cop it? Not so sure ’bout that.

Aside from the DOD Pack, Hideout came correct with Nike x Cassette Playa’s third sneaker collab. They had the Dunk High before as well as the Blazer. This time around, they come with a nylonized Dunk High. It’s pretty cool, but they’re pretty colorful. Most of the shoe is black, but the outsole’s a really bright orange. There’s also a mouth by the toe box (though it can’t bee seen with the photos here). To complete the look, Nike BHS (and I’m sure other stores around town) carry the Nike x Cassette Playa Tees (shirt shots to follow). The Cassette Playa sneaker is not really a Halloween shoe but with the colors just exuding Hallow’s Eve, why not rock it, right?

For all 4 pairs, you’d be surprised with the price. All these QK don’t even go over 6k. So what’re you waiting for?
