Nike SB's Dunk Low "Sashiko" Pays Tribute to the Japanese Art of Decorative Stitching
One of four models to release in the “Sashiko” pack.
As information about a “Sashiko Pack” continues to surface, we now have a full look and European release date for the Nike SB Dunk Low “Sashiko.”
Accompanied by takes on the Kyrie S2 Hybrid, SB Blazer Mid and SB Janoski, the upcoming set of releases is centered around Sashiko, a traditional Japanese denim reinforcement stitching dating back to the early 1600s.
The upper of the shoe expresses a two-tone “Mystic Navy” denim and suede upper decorated with Sashiko detailing. The contrasting “little stabs” create midfoot Swooshes and circular patterns along the toe and heel. Additional branding comes in the form of Nike SB tongue tags, “NIKE” embroidery at the rear and printed insoles. Rounding up design of the shoes is a Zoom Air cushioning-assisted pure white midsole paired with a contrasting gum rubber outsole.
Although no pricing details are currently available, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Prm “Sashiko” is set to release at select European stockists like Sneakersnstuff August 1. Stay tuned for more release notes.
