Corduroy-Accented Skate Sneakers

Skate Like a Girl and Nike SB Launch a Dunk Low Sneaker Model

— July 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike SB joins forces with nonprofit organization Skate Like a Girl once again on a new sneaker design. The duo spotlight the Dunk Low silhouette with a new tonal update. The organization functions as an inclusive community and has been in work since 2000, described as a brand that is “promoting confidence, leadership, and social justice through skateboarding.”

The sneaker model in the spotlight starts off with an off-white tonal upper made from soft suede materials before it is detailed with contrasting touches of wine red overlaying on top. From this, contrasting textures are applied in the form of corduroy materials that cover the off-white tongue, the wine red lining details, and the reddish-orange tonal Swoosh branding
