Update:
It has come to our attention that the Nike Dunk SB featuring red velvet and black leather does not in fact have any connection with the band U2, their song Bloody Sunday or many tragic historic events, which have been dubbed Bloody Sunday. We here at EUKicks reported the information and now we are retracting it. We would like to apologize to anyone was offended by our coverage of the sneaker.
Please refer to the following links to find out more information about the response of Nike to the naming of the sneaker.

In the next couple of months Nike SB will be coming out with the Dunk SB with a theme based upon the classic U2 Song Bloody Sunday. The kicks feature red velvet and patent leather materials.
