Nike SB Dunk Low

This Nike SB Dunk Low comes in a classic set of tones which combine with a series of fine details to celebrate the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team. As such, the upper has a white leather base layer, which covers the toe box, midfoot panels and part of the heel, with Deep Royal Blue suede overlays placed across it. These sections form the mudguard, the eyestay and the rear overlay to create the familiar design of the low-top SB Dunk. Thick laces tie together over the puffy white tongue, threading through all three overlays on their way up the foot towards the collar.

The sneaker’s inner lining is covered in a soft, breathable mesh that works alongside the perforations fanning out across the toe to keep the foot nice and cool. Below it, the insole exhibits Deep Royal Blue tones to match the suede parts on the outer, its surface also printed with both Nike SB branding and Air Zoom text in white to declare the presence of the brand’s springy Zoom Air cushioning concealed within the midsole below. On the tongue, the first hint of Sport Red can be found – a bold hue that adds a vivid splash of color to the primary white and blue tones of the Dodgers kit. Here, it complements the Deep Royal Blue of the tongue label as it fills out the Nike SB and Dunk Low Pro text woven into it. The same powerful effect has been achieved on the heel tab as well, its rich blue suede surface embroidered with Sport Red Nike lettering.

Deep Royal Blue textile swooshes adorn the flanks, each attached to the outer via exaggerated stitching that brings an intriguing aesthetic to the sneaker. Underfoot, the white midsole sits atop a classic Gum Light Brown outsole, whose tightly packed concentric circle grip patterns support the forefoot while lugs in rear half prop up the heel. In its center is a piece of Deep Royal Blue rubber embossed with Nike SB branding, and the heel of the right shoe has a patch of Bubblegum Pink as a nod to the common practice of baseball players chewing gum during games. The finishing touch to this design is hidden on the back of the tongue label. The left one holds a palm tree graphic, and the right a light blue hexagonal patch emulating the sign that welcomes visitors to the LA Dodgers stadium.
