Before Supreme and Martine Rose settled on the final Nike Dunk Low “Mike Tyson” design, several other colorways were considered. The shoe features a photo of Tyson from his 1986 fight against Trevor Berbick, where he won by technical knockout at just 20 years old. It was released alongside an apparel collection honoring the former heavyweight champion.
New photos shared by @sneaker_riots show some of the early samples that never made it to retail. Unlike the mostly black version that released, these pairs use different colors across the Swoosh and toe box. Some have textured suede panels, while others stick with smooth leather. The samples include combinations of white, brown, red, beige, blue, and purple, giving a look at the options considered before the final design was chosen.
The Martine Rose x Supreme Nike Dunk Low “Mike Tyson” Samples are not expected to release. Check out the early designs in the photos below.
