Sneaker Talk: Nike SB Dunk Low “Gibson”

Published on

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Gibson” stands out as one of the most unique designs in the Nike SB lineup. Rather than drawing direct inspiration from a Gibson guitar, this 2007 release pays homage to the brand’s iconic “Guitar Case” — a nod to musicians and street performers everywhere.

The upper is wrapped in premium brown leather, reflecting the rugged exterior of a guitar case. Inside, the sneaker is lined with vivid pink faux fur, mimicking the plush protective interior that cradles a prized guitar. This bold contrast creates a standout aesthetic, making the shoe instantly recognizable.

Adding to its storytelling, the insole features graphics of dollar bills and coins, representing the buskers who often rely on tips collected in their open guitar cases. It’s a thoughtful touch that blends music culture with sneaker history.

Though the Nike SB Dunk Low “Gibson” dropped back in 2007, it’s still a sought-after piece for collectors and skaters alike. You can still find select sizes through resale platforms like StockX — but be prepared to pay a premium for this unique slice of sneaker history.
