Nike SB Supreme Blue is one of the products in the 'High' Nike's product family. This is a huge family, and one which is still growing, with other siblings including the likes of the military colored Nike Dunk Custom High Oreos Paris, the rather high Nike Dunk Dinosaur Junior, the rather colorful Custom Nike High - Back to the Future II Horrible Pack and the Nike 6.0 Dunk High Black Coral; to name but a few of the numerous 'High' Nike Dunks. Of all Nike Dunks that I have gotten to use over my lifetime - and they are quite a number - I have to confess that it is Nike Supreme Blue that I have gotten most enchanted with.
Contrary to what its name suggest, Nike SB Supreme Blue is in fact not a primarily blue shoe. Indeed, on my particular pair of this shoe, the primary color is white, with blue only making a brief appearance towards the back of the shoe. The bottom part of the sole, the part that is in contact with the ground is colored red, with the upper part of the sole, the part where it is joined to the upper body of the shoe being colored white. Most of the front part of this shoe is white too; including the part where the toes are supposed to go in, the tongue of the 'shoe,' and the main patch which connects the various parts of the shoes' body. The Nike tick on the Nike High Supreme Blue is, however, red in color.
Although classified as a 'high' dunk, Nike High Pro SB Supreme Blue is not such a tall shoe, and it could just as well qualify to be termed as 'mid' dunk. It is perhaps the gradual, but unabating gain gradient, from the front part of the shoe where the toes go in to peak at the middle section of the shoe (where the tip of its 'tongue' is located) which qualifies it to be considered a 'high' dunk. This strong gradient does make the shoe look taller than it really is. It also helps, in building a perception of superior height, that the sole on Nike High Pro SB Supreme Blue is rather thick - though not particularly conspicuously so.
The Nike tick on Nike Supreme Blue is, as in all modern Nikes, quite elongated; stretching all the way to the back of the shoe, and going round to emerge at the opposite end of the shoe. This can be seen as a signature, to show that Nike SB Supreme Blue is indeed a 'modern' Nike.
For a tying mechanism, Nike has opted to provide the users of Nike Dunk High Pro SB Supreme Blue with the traditional shoe-lace mechanism. As befits a shoe of this height, this is quite an elongated affair, spanning over 18 shoe-lace holes (9 pairs) - although the user does have the option of leaving some of these unthreaded.
