Nike Dunk High Burberry Plaid – Not Married to the Mob

Update: We have confirmed with Married to the Mob that these are not an scrapped sample of a collaboration between Nike and Married to the Mob. 

Many of you may remember the Married to the Mob (MOB) x Nike collaboration that resulted in a WMNS Dunk High back in November of 2008.  The final version of the collaboration with between the well known, feminine urban fashion brand and Nike Sportswear was a mostly white, tweed WMNS Dunk High that was reminiscent of the classic Chanel, tweed suit.

From the looks of the sample in the picture above, it looks like MOB sought inspiration from other high fashion labels before finalizing the design of their shoe.  This sample is designed with an all cloth upper covered by a haymarket check pattern with a gum sole and white mid-sole.  The only feature of this shoe that made it to final production are the MOB gold lace-locks.  For those of you familiar with Burberry, it is clear why these samples never made it to production and word is only 4 or 6 pairs were ever manufactured.  via Nike SB // Mental Kicks
