Inspirations have become such a big thing in sneaker releases that seemingly every inline pair needs some sort of reasoning for its material choices.

And so, the Nike SB Dunk Low pictured here is inspired by retro motorcycle helmets. More specifically, the gleaming Swoosh across the side gets its look from that piece of protective headware. There's also a black leather upper to the shoe, which may or may not serve to extend the whole motorcycle apparel aesthetic.

The Nike SB Dunk Low "Motorcycle Helmet" in all its sparkly glory is available now at accounts like Premier.
