The Nike SB Dunk High has joined countless “grail lists” over the past two years. And while individuals the likes of Travis Scott – recently pictured court-side at an NBA game wearing an “Iron Maiden” colorway worth $100,000 USD – continue bringing visibility to the silhouette’s previous iterations, the Swoosh’s skate category hasn’t forgotten about its core audience.
Under the “Orange Label” distinction, Nike SB has released dozens of compelling styles of its most-coveted silhouette. Often less eye-catching than the pairs familiar to the masses, these propositions tend to prefer a subtle arrangement, and are almost strictly focused on performance. The latest modified-Nike Dunk to surface ostensibly from this imprint, however, has introduced a refreshing suede and canvas build. The shoe’s base is formed out of a strong, coarse cloth, while the overlays around the forefoot, along the tongue and across the heel indulge in a soft fabric. Shades of cream and white take over the skate-ready option’s upper, as a fan-favorite gum brown outsole rounds out the makeup.
As this forthcoming pair features an orange label on the tongue, it’s very likely a skate shop-exclusive. Therefore, a Nike SNKRS launch is out of the question. In any case, stay tuned for more information on potential propositions offering a similar color palette and/or build.
