Nike SB continued its campaign of height changes this year with the 10th anniversary re-issue of the De La Soul Dunks.

The sneakers originally hit in the fall of 2005, and featured vinyl graphics across their uppers that pushed Nike SB's line into uncharted territory in terms of graphics. The High among them was also particularly special for its use of elephant print – these pairs came from a time before elephant print reached the level of ubiquity that it's at today.

Remember that the Nike SB Dunk Low "De La Soul," originally the Dunk High "De La Soul," is releasing on May 16.
