Official Images of the Nike SB Dunk Low "What the Paul"

The relationship between Paul Rodriguez and Nike dates back when the pro skater was in his formative years as a pro skater in his teens, and the two are set to further build out their collaborative catalog with a new footwear team-up: the Nike SB Dunk Low “What the Paul”.

For this newest joint effort, the Swoosh’s SB division calls upon the classic “What The” styling method and brings to light a myriad of P-Rod‘s past sneaker projects. A variety of textures, patterns and colors are shown on this wild offering, some of which include a toe box that mimics the ‘06 P-Rod 1 “Stash”, elephant-printed eyestays and mudguards which are a homage to the 2005 Air Jordan 1-inspired P-Rod 1 “J-Rod,” and another toe box which translates the visual composition of the P-Rod 1 “Mexican Blanket”. The P-Rod 2’s quilted interior liners are adopted, and the lace treading’s color-blocking and lace dubraes are borrowed from his Mexico-inspired SB Dunk High collaboration that dropped in early 2020. Moreover, the gradient Swooshes are brought over from his P-Rod 2 “Playstation” colorway.

If you want to cop these, Nike SNKRS has these officially dropping on May 24 via a draw for $150 USD.
