Jeff Staple and The Shoe Surgeon join forces to launch the Just Vote sneaker, which takes the Nike SB Dunk Low as the base foundation. It is entirely detailed with patriotic paraphernalia to encourage fans to exercise their right to vote and define their futures.
The upper boasts a white tumbled leather finish with a Swoosh along the midfoot that comes out of a black rectangular box. This is done to replicate the look of checking off a ballot in a playful nod to the overarching theme of the shoe. Additionally, there is a red fabric tag that hangs on the side reading "Vote" rounded out with the Staple pigeon at the heel in a red, white, and blue hat.
