Released in 2008 during the Gold Box Era, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Gibson Guitar Case” is inspired by the iconic Gibson “Les Paul” brown guitar case. The shoe features light British tan leather with a metallic gold swoosh and pink stitching, and a vibrant pink fur sockliner that adds character.
One standout detail is the insole, which depicts “Spare Change,” referencing musicians who earn tips in their open cases. Designed by Shawn Baravetto, the shoe captures the rugged vintage aesthetic of the classic Gibson case from the 60s.
The name “Les Paul” honors Lester William Polsfuss, a pioneering musician and inventor known for his contributions to the solid body electric guitar. Les Paul passed away in 2009, shortly after the shoe's release, leaving fans to wonder if he ever saw it.
