While the Nike SB Dunk Low is typically known for its out-there colourways and occasionally incongruous themes, the brand regularly serves up timely reminders that some of the model’s best executions are its simplest. That’s been demonstrated again with this upcoming duo of simple white and black editions that feature classic gum rubber outsoles.
As seen in this batch of images shared by @prvt.selection, these SB Dunks stick to the tried and true script of tonal leather uppers with contrast Swoosh branding, white midsoles and the aforementioned gum rubber outsoles. The white pair uses tumbled leather and mesh tongues – perfect for both skate and casual use. Meanwhile, the black pair opts for finely brushed nubuck, which should be fairly proficient from a durability standpoint, plus has the advantage of hiding scuffs better than its white counterpart. Other elements of this model that deserve wider celebration include the plush padded tongues, round laces and Zoom Air insoles – the latter of which has long been a drawcard of the model over the regular version due to its extended comfort.
Expect to find these SB Dunks at Nike SB retailers in coming months. It’s likely these will be exclusive to skate stores. In the meantime, hit the link below to check out more Nike SB on the Swoosh’s webstore.
