Nike bringing back Vince Carter's 'Dunk of Death' sneaker

The Nike Shox BB4 model worn by Vince Carter when he dunked over 7-foot-2 French center Frederic Weis at the 2000 Summer Olympics is returning next month.

As pointed out by Victor Deng of Sneaker News, Foot Locker's release calendar shows the Shox BB4 will be available in a white, silver, and navy blue colorway beginning June 29. Pricing for the sneaker has yet to be announced.

Carter wore BB4s throughout the 2018-19 season as a tribute to his "Dunk of Death," including a Toronto Raptors-inspired pair during a game against the San Antonio Spurs in March.

"It doesn't get any better than that dunk," Carter told Nice Kicks in January. "Obviously, I did wear them for a while and I did some nice things in the shoe but they can't hold a candle to that (dunk)."
