Visuals of [Supreme's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-dn) design of the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3) SB Darwin Low sneaker collaboration first leaked to the public a while ago and it is now finally launching. The brand unveiled a look at four collaborative shoes for the Spring season this year -- all of which have a chunky silhouette and retro aesthetics.

The [Air Darwin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-darwin) by Nike was first launched in 1994 and now, the remixed update is made from canvas materials throughout the upper. It also has a Phylon midsole and rubber outsole foundation. Other details include the leather collar with soft fleece details and tongue lining. It also boasts co-branding details along the footbed embroidered logo by the eyestay, woven label at the tongue, and leather logo appliqué by the heel.
