So after getting some shots of the Nike SB-MX apparel, we’ve found out what the tease was all about - a four pack of shoes consisting of two Dunks and two Blazers. Images have been floating around for a little while, but now we’ve begun to get the story behind the designs as well as some idea as to a release date. Above is the centerpiece of the pack, inspired by the 24 karat gold Trickstar bike. Supposedly these are limited to 600 pairs, although without some sort of hand numbering, I’m skeptical about those estimates. Check out shots of the rest of the lineup and more info after the jump.

Here’s the Kuwahara Dunk, based on the BMX made famous in the E.T. chase scene. As much as I’m usually opposed to this much patent leather on a shoe, I think the slick theme justifies it here. The fade on the toe works well and overall this is a pretty solid shoe, regardless of inspiration.

If the all gold Dunk is a bit too ambitious for you, here’s a more subdued Blazer that still shows a little flare. Personally I’ve seen a bit too many black base/gold swoosh releases for this to be that exciting, buteven I can’t deny how strong the color scheme is.

Last up is the Lau China Blazer with a ton of accents that I still can’t quite make out. A lot of people are juiced on these, so I guess there’s a bunch of people putting together a Ronald McDonald costume for this Halloween. As much as I like a lot of the accents and details, the color scheme is just a little too clown shoes for my taste, and this is coming from someone who isn’t blinking an eye at an all gold shoe.

So far Brooklyn Projects and Dave’s Quality Meats have announced they’ll be receiving this pack “early” with a tentative release date of June 27th. What this means as far as a wider release remains to be seen though.
