Parra and Nike SB Ready New SB Dunk Low Collaboration
The Dutch artist brings his signature colorful prints back to the SB Dunk Low.
Dutch artist Piet Parra and Nike have a long working relationship that stretches all the way back to the ’00s. Though the early days of the partnership were mostly centered around Nike Sportswear product like the legendary Patta x Parra x Nike Air Max 1 “Cherrywood,” Parra has recently worked with Nike SB on a SB Dunk Low, a SB Blazer Low and even skateboarding uniforms for the Olympic Games. Now, he’s continuing his partnership with the Swoosh’s skate subdivision by way of a new take on the low-cut SB Dunk.
First teased by Parra himself back in March, the fresh style is centered around the artist’s signature abstract shapes, done up in his recognizable blue and red palette. These colorful patterns appear on the mudguard, eyestays, heel, heel tab and tongue trim, and are accented by tan nubuck on the toebox, quarters and collar.
From a branding standpoint, the SB Dunk Low’s normal quarter Swoosh has been replaced by a black leather variation that stops well short of the heel. There’s also a small white Swoosh embroidered on the lateral mudguard. Parra branding appears on the heel and tongue, while the look is completed by white midsoles and gum outsoles.
At the time of writing a release date for the Parra x Nike SB Dunk Low has yet to be revealed. However, it’ll likely touch down sometime this spring or summer.
