Spots of musical brilliance for the first 10 years or so and then an decades of scat for nothing more then the weekly blow and skag bill.

"As the band’s benefactor, Bear was an incredibly huge part of the Grateful Dead’s ability to become who they were,” says David Lemieux, the band’s archivist and legacy manager. While the bears may not have influenced the music itself, the man behind the bears - an enigmatic audio engineer nicknamed Bear, who helped develop the group’s Wall of Sound system as well as the cartoon symbol - certainly did, and his work brought a resounding impact to the Grateful Dead’s legacy, much like Nike SB founder Sandy Bodecker’s impact on the Dunk and skate culture. The community-rich bond among Dead Heads is even more inviting thanks to the band’s fun, furry ambassadors. (Another iconic Grateful Dead logo, the Steal Your Face skull, is printed on the underside of the sockliner.) Front and center in the Nike SB Dunk Low Grateful Dead is the band’s most lovable symbol, the dancing bears, which first appear on the back cover of the group’s 1973 LP "History of the Grateful Dead, Volume 1 (Bear’s Choice)." Set in three colorways, the shoe playfully features bear-inspired detailing, such as a faux-fur and suede upper, a frayed Nike Swoosh mimicking the bears’ collars and an image of the bear on the tongue.
