Previously, Nike SB has taken inspiration from celebrities in the past within their Fallen Heroes Pack:

• Nike Dunk SB Low - Pro SB Milli Vanilli (Varsity Crimson / Black)
• Nike Dunk SB High - Pro SB Pee Wee Herman (Fallen Heroes Pack) - grey / heather

This year, Nike SB takes inspiration from the legendary stunt man Evil Knievel.

Robert Craig “Evel” Knievel, Jr. (October 17, 1938 � November 30, 2007) was an American motorcycle daredevil, an entertainer famous in the United States and elsewhere between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Knievel’s nationally televised motorcycle jumps, including his 1974 attempt to jump Snake River Canyon at Twin Falls, Idaho, represent four of the twenty most-watched ABC’s Wide World of Sports events to date. His achievements and failures, including his record forty broken bones, earned him several entries in the Guinness Book of World Records. via Wiki
