The Nike SB Dunk Hi Premium “Thrashin” is inspired by a movie made in 1986. It was a drama highlighting the sport of skateboarding. This sneaker is made from leather and patent leather. It has several multicolor fading affects. This imitates the movie’s logo and desires to bring back some of the flavor of “Thrashin.”

The movie “Thrashin” was directed by David Winters. The cast included Josh Brolin, Robert Rusler, Pamela Gidley, Tny Alva, Tony Hawk, and Steve Caballero. Other celebrities in the music scene were the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Irons and Hillel Slovak. The story was about two rival gangs in skateboarding. To complicate matters, the hero fell in love with the younger sister of a rival gang leader. The two guys battled out their differences in a competition. The hero won over his girl and her brother. Everybody lived happily ever after.

The shoe’s Nike swoosh is multi-color. The pink fades and merges with the blue. The prevalent accent is the patterned border that runs around the shoe. The pattern looks unusual. It is like a spider web against a black background. The colorway is white to remember the white of the concrete skateboarding rink.
