Nike SB has played with the Dunk Mid a fair bit in recent years, first removing its signature ankle strap, then altering the sole and traction pattern as part of the entire series’ early 2011 refresh. And while we’ve seen several pairs showed off for upcoming months in this ‘High-lite’ build, it appears the middle of the year will see a shift back to the original Nike SB Dunk Mid construction, complete with velcro strap and ‘SB’ embroidery. Fans of the OG strap will be happy it’s back to provide a bit of extra support and style, and pretty much anyone with a pulse will dig this sick tonal blue design that not only offers a variety of shades, but also textures including hte tumbled look we’ve seen on a few notable Air Jordan Retros of late. Check them out in greater detail after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on this pair’s fall 2012 release date. via N-SB
