For those of you that know about SB samples that have been scrapped this is a pair many High top SB lovers would kill to get their hands on. As you know samples are extremely hard to get your hands on unless you have a connection and the funds to purchase.

Info on the Lucky Bee Sample: "In many cultures bees are signs of great luck, nobility, harmony and bliss. This Classic Green/Varsity Yellow FT sample features an all suede/nubuck upper and a carefully embroidered NIKE AIR bee on the outer heel panels. Reportedly the first "look-see" sample in the "Lucky" dunk series, the "Lucky Bee" SB is rumored to be the only pair of its kind in existence. There are only one pair of these in the world. They were scheduled to be released by Nike with "the beer pack" including these, the Heineken's, the dos equis URLs, and the Pabst Blue Ribbons. However, Heineken made Nike stop producing the Heineken dunk lows, and Nike scrapped the whole pack. These shoes were made for mickeys fine malt liquor and were not samples of the Lucky's.

So instead of trying to obtain a extremely rare sample Kybosh went to sharp020 with the idea of creating a custom of these impossible to obtain samples: (info via solecollector.com/forums)
Kybosh : "I came to Sharp with the idea of lucky bees. After discussing materials and bases Sharp came up with the idea of doing a pack, the regular lucky bee and an un-pair. This is the end result. I couldn't be happier with them."

I am impressed with the craftsmanship and with this set of customs sharp020 has just moved into the top spot of my favorite customizers.
