ICYMI — Nike is releasing the Dunk Low "CBGB" model this year in tribute to the NYC institute on the Bowery, which closed in 2006. 

We first saw the item at Sneaker News the other day: 
The "NIKE" on the heel is modified to replicate the original CBGB font that stood on the awning. Behind the tongue are "Bleecker" (Nike spelled it incorrectly) and "Bowery," the cross-streets in which this venue stood for decades. The insoles are a messy mosaic of Nike stickers set to mimic the walls of the claustrophobic restrooms. 
No word on a release date. 

This isn't the brand's first shoe collaboration. You may recall the limited-edition 1460 Dr. Martens-CBGB boots.
