Starting April 7, 2014, fans will be able to choose from the original "Be True" colorways along with material choices consisting of leather, suede, and snakeskin. For those not familiar with the BTYS collection, it was the original Dunk colors that Nike released in 1985 for seven prominent schools it was sponsoring at the time. In 2005, Nike SB celebrated 20 years of that collection with a re-release featuring of course SB upgrades.

Along with the BTYS color options, customers can now opt for a speckled midsole and laces as well. For those that hate the waiting times associated with the "ID" process, Nike is promising a two week window from design submission to delivery. Start planning your ideas now and when the time comes, share your creations with us on social media using the #complexkicks hashtag.

Racist Sororities at the University of Alabama

In 1963, in the midst of the heated debate over the desegregation of American schools, the University of Alabama announced that it would for the first time allow African Americans to enroll. Fifty years later, in September 2013, two University of Alabama sororities rejected an African American student because of her race. As a result, an anti-racist student group called the Mallet Assembly and other members of the community took action to prevent segregation within the university's Greek system.
