Nike has officially unveiled the SB Dunk Low “Som Tum,” a flavorful new addition to the brand’s expansive skateboarding catalog. Dropping in a clean Canvas and Parachute Beige makeup, the latest iteration of the iconic low-top draws direct inspiration from the vibrant and universally beloved Thai dish.
The design of the
Som Tum” SB Dunk Low leans heavily into its culinary muse, utilizing a distinct color palette that conceptually mirrors the ingredients of the spicy papaya salad. Beyond its appetizing visual hues, the sneaker is defined by its highly tactile and intricate construction. The textured upper panels are meticulously crafted to call to mind the woven Thai bamboo baskets that are traditionally utilized to store and serve sticky rice alongside the famous dish.
This thematic storytelling extends thoughtfully to the specialized branding hits found throughout the shoe. Both the som tum dish and the traditional bamboo baskets receive their due on the custom tongue labels, firmly cementing the cultural inspiration behind the colorway. Retaining the model’s signature skateboarding-ready tooling, the silhouette remains performance-focused. It is anchored by a standard SB padded tongue for impact protection, a plush collar for ankle support, and a durable rubber outsole engineered to provide optimum grip and reliable boardfeel on the streets.
