Todd Bratrud designed the Nike Dunk High Premium SB 'Brain Wreck' as his third Dunk for Nike SB, following on from his 2006 'Send Help' colorway. The high-top's Pavement Grey suede upper is set off by a neutral grey Swoosh, with Vivid Pink pushed onto the leather tongue and toe box for contrast. A brain-like stitching pattern lines the interior, matching the graphic theme carried onto a custom insole print.
The heels carry oversized 'BRAIN' and 'WRECK' lettering, spelling out the shoe's name across the two shoes rather than hiding it in a small tag or label. It released on October 9, 2009 at $120, arriving a few years into Bratrud's run of illustrated, graphic-heavy Dunk designs for the brand. The combination of grey suede and hot pink detailing gives 'Brain Wreck' a starker, more graphic-driven look built around the brain motif rather than a standard color-blocked scheme.
