Best Selling Familia x Nike SB Dunk Low “First Avenue” Sneakers
Cheap Jordan Retros, Familia Skateshop closes out a massive year of Nike SB Dunks with a collaboration inspired by a local Minneapolis institution. According to a full design breakdown by David Bluetile, the muse of this concept is Minneapolis’ First Ave, a nightclub and music venue that has been serving the nightlife-craved community since 1970. Right off the bat, you’ll notice the textured heel-panel and the embroidered star at the heel – a nod to the distinct exterior build of the venue that is erected with cinderblocks and covered with white stars that feature the legendary acts that have performed on stage.The insoles tell a further story; the custom design sees a purple ticket stub with the date April 3rd, 1970, which is presumably the grand opening night of the venue.

A translucent bottom also makes way for a starry pattern visible through the sole. In addition to the purple stock laces, white and black will also accompany the collaboration.
Looking closer at this Nike LeBron Witness 5 Lakers, it features a new Black knitted upper along with Purple synthetic on the overlays and rubber outsole.
