NK SB Dunk High Black Sheep Paid In Full

The Nike SB Dunk High "Black Sheep Paid In Full" is a bold and luxurious sneaker inspired by the aesthetics of wealth, specifically referencing classic hip-hop culture and the iconic "Paid in Full" album by Eric B. & Rakim. Released in 2017, this collaboration between Nike SB and Black Sheep Skate Shop draws inspiration from Gucci’s signature color palette and pattern, adding a rebellious skateboarding twist.

The upper features a white leather base overlaid with a striking black dollar bill-inspired print, symbolizing wealth and excess. The black Swoosh is designed to mimic gold chains, a nod to the flashy jewelry worn by hip-hop icons in the late ‘80s and ‘90s. Complementing the look, the shoe has a red and green ankle collar, reminiscent of Gucci’s signature stripes.

Other details include gold aglets, a white midsole, and a gum outsole, completing the premium feel. Originally, the shoe was set to feature an interlocking "SB" logo resembling the Gucci monogram, but this detail was altered due to legal concerns.

Despite the controversy, the "Paid In Full" Dunk High remains a standout release, blending luxury fashion, hip-hop nostalgia, and skateboarding culture into one of the most unique Nike SB collaborations ever.
