The Nike SB Dunk Mid was first created to honor Australian-born skate legend Lewis Marnell and in 2018, the footwear company created a 420 holiday shoe silhouette. Dubbed the 'White Willow,' the SB Dunk Mid boasts a colorway that is inspired by a hybrid cannabis strain. The design boasts a fuzzy textured exterior in altering colors of Light Green and Sail. The Nike Swoosh is colored in bold red, which makes the branding distinctly stand out on the 420-friendly holiday shoe release.
The Nike SB Dunk Mid was created by way of collaboration with graphic designer Todd Bratrud. The SB strap branding gives the marijuana-inspired piece a more modern and stylish look. On the inner side, the Nike SB Dunk Mid boasts an illustrated sole with a playful spider graphic.
