This February, Nike continued their tradition of issuing special sneakers in honor of Black History Month, 2011′s BHM models marked by a luxurious black/gold colorway. The 2011 BHM releases sold quickly thanks in large part to their deluxe aesthetic, but did you know a select few pairs were even fancier? Check out these special wooden box editions of the Air Jordan III, Nike Star Player, Nike Air Force 1 and Zoom Kobe VI. They’re relatively simple when compared to the ZKVI ‘Snake Crate’ or some of the other special packaging we’ve seen in recent years but it seems a fitting match to the sneakers’ understated dignity.

Two of America’s iconic brands, Nike and Dickies were founded within ten years of one another during the 20th century’s first quarter. They’re even more closely related when you examine that the first Chuck Taylors were issued in 1917 and Dickies was established the following year, so the above pictured collaboration can be seen to have truly been (only) a matter of time. The Dickies x Nike Chuck Taylor nike free 3.0 All Star Boot Hi is something like a Chuck fused with Dickies’ 6″ Trader boot, the latter’s logo stitched in simple white embroidery on the lateral heels just so you know what’s up.
