Nike SB x Supreme Dunk Low: Our Sneakers Of The Week
Is there any purchase more alluring than a fresh set of sneakers? If there is, we’ve yet to discover it. No matter how many pairs line your shoe rack, there’s always room for more. But with so many new releases hitting the shelves every day, it can be time-consuming to whittle it down to the ones truly worthy of your hard-earned cash.
To speed things up, we’ve handpicked the cream of the footwear crop and packed all the best bits into a clear-cut weekly edit. So, whether it’s the latest Nike x Supreme collaboration, or a fresh take on your favourite retro runners, rest assured you’ll find it right here.
Nike SB x Supreme Dunk Low
While it’s the rumoured Air Force 1 drop in 2020 that really has the sneakerheads salivating, this latest joint venture from Nike and Supreme should keep them happy in the meantime.
From the Swoosh’s skateboarding arm, Nike SB, the Supreme Dunk SB is a puffier, more padded take on the classic basketball shoe from 1985. Now, for 2019, it’s been reimagined by the skate brand in three two-tone, metallic colourways.
Of course, as with any hyped drop, you’ve got more chance of nailing jelly to a wall than getting your hands on a pair. However, if you think you’ve got what it takes to pull off the bling, your best bet is to have your finger trigger trained on StockX this weekend.
