The Nike Dunk Low Pro SB 'Gold Rail' launched exclusively in Australia in October 2008 at $65, built around a specific piece of Melbourne skate history. The design nods to the metal handrail beneath the clock at Flinders Street station, long a gathering point for the city's skaters. A Varsity Royal suede upper stands in for Port Phillip Bay, the harbor at Melbourne's edge, while a brown midsole traces the path of the Yarra River that runs through downtown.
Metallic Vegas Gold ties the shoe's namesake rail to three separate points on the build: the Swoosh, the canvas toe box, and the mesh tongue, before repeating once more on the rubber outsole. At $65, the 'Gold Rail' landed on the lower end of SB Dunk pricing for its era, and Nike kept the release confined to the Australian market rather than shipping it worldwide.
