FroSkate, a Chicago skate community that highlights BIPOC skaters who identify as transgender or non-binary, has partnered with Nike to launch the 'FroSkate x Nike SB Dunk High' skate shoe. Key to the sneaker's design is the use of FroSkate's positivity-focused slogan, "All Love, No Hate," which arrives debossed on the model's side panels.

In addition to the signature slogan, the sneakers feature a color scheme borrowed from the FroSkate's logo. As a result, the sneaker comes dressed in vibrant red, teal, yellow, and white color blocking. Meanwhile, its outsoles feature a translucent rubber construction, while its tongue comes with a plush quilted sock liner.

For those interested, the FroSkate x Nike SB Dunk High is set to drop on August 13 and will be available to purchase on Nike's and FroSkate's websites.
