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.
