Matt Varga Updated January 23rd, 2026: Bluetile has revealed an official first look at their upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low. Although details aren’t shared, it appears that the design is inspired by butterflies.
The below article was originally published on January 16th, 2026.
Collaborations with far-flung cultural entities like Nardwuar may be the ones that attract the most attention, but Nike SB is most authentic to its core when it’s looking to individual skate imprints and shops. The Bronx Skate Girls Nike SB Dunk Low already looms as one of 2026’s first entries into that canon, but a South Carolina storefront may have just given us another drop to look forward to.
Indeed, David Bluetile, owner and operator of the titular Southern brick-and-mortar shop, took to his YouTube page, where he typically reviews incoming product for what’s titled as a run-of-the-mill update. Unboxing Paul Rodriguez’s red-and-gold All-Star Weekend colorway, he cracked open the box to reveal something different entirely. Though only shown on screen for a few frames, it’s immediately clear, by the “hush hush” candor he dons in the moments after, that it’s a version of the Bluetile x Nike SB Dunk Low.
Whether this is some guerrilla marketing or, as Bluetile reports, a genuine candid moment, it allows some preliminary details to take hold. An interior tag depicting imagery from the state flag, droplets of orange embroidery, what appears to be alternating “blue”/“tile” heel branding, icy blue traction, and an overall darkened palette are visible in this initial sneak peek. All of that aligns with some early product info, as the Bluetile x Nike SB Dunk Low will reportedly carry color codes of “Black/Marina White/Campfire Orange/Court Blue/Orange Horizon.”
At this juncture, concrete release information is in short supply, but we can confirm that the Bluetile Nike SB Dunk Low is in the works for Summer 2026, arriving with a $135 retail price. Dissect David’s accidental look just ahead.
