Nike SB Strummer Guitar Dunk Low

Allegedly set to release this Fall, Nike SB has cooked up this Strummer Guitar Dunk Low. Based on the 1966 Fender Telecaster of The Clash frontman Joe Strummer, this Dunk attempts to capture the same vintage look that Joe Strummer’s guitar. The guitar was acquired sometime in the mid-1970’s (~1976) and was used all the way until Strummer’s untimely death in 2002. Here’s a site documenting a custom re-make of Strummer’s guitar. Fender also released a licensed remake of Strummer’s guitar as well with the design left to the hands of Shepard Fairey of Obey.
