A Close Look at the Nike SB Grateful Dead Collection | First Dibs

A bear collection with Nike SBs are back to celebrate one of with the legendary rock band, the Grateful Dead with the Nike SB x Greatful Deads. The collection is inspired by the band’s iconic symbol of colorful dancing bears, inspired by their 1973 LP, History of The Grateful Dead (Bear’s Choice).

A fury bear inspired collection hasnt been shared with us sneakerheads since the three bears collection back in 2006 with the Papa Bear Highs, Mama Bear mids, and Baby Bear lows. All was missing was a Goldielocks Nike SB to tie the whole collection in. Back in 06 and even now it is a sought after collection due to the creativity of adding the fur and this Grateful Dead collection definitely brings the 06 vibes back.

The Grateful Dead collection features 3 Nike SB lows paying homage to the three different color bears dancing – Green, Yellow and Orange.
