The Nike Dunks Mid Premium SB - Asbury Casino (Island Teal / Mineral Yellow) were a bit of an enigma for a while, as we did not learn much about them until right up to their release date. They are inspired by the Casino located in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was a well known skate park, which unfortunately is no longer there, so these were dubbed the Asbury Casinos in order to pay homage to the park. They feature a black,gold, and sea green colorway. The color scheme is interesting, and may take time, but eventually does grow on you especially with small details like the yellow contrast stitching along the black portions, which definitely catch your eye. Nike Dunks have their own unique style, and while some of their shoes look like a pack of crayons left on a stove burner, some of them look pretty cool. And all of them are well made. Whatever you take on Nike being in the skate market, it is nice that they actually took the time to make skateboarding shoes that work well. Like everything with skateboarding, you should do what you want, and express yourself. If you like the look and feel of Nike Dunk SB’s, then go for them. People like the strong response and board feel that Nike Dunk SB’s give, and some of the colors are sick. It's also nice to have a pair of skate shoes that can double for other sports - most large puffy skate shoes don't work that well for other sports. And, to top all of this off, the Nike skate team is very strong with guys like X Games gold medalist Paul Rodriguez. Not many skate shoes last for three years on the market, but Nike Dunk Pro SB’s are still going strong.
