Nike SB officially works together with Rayssa Leal on a pair of Dunk Low sneakers. The shoes are defined by their bight color blends and nods to Leal's skateboarding background and positive personality. It is defined by a series of emoticon smiley faces throughout the shoe.
This can be seen on the back of the tongue and smiley motifs make their way onto the shoelaces in the form of accessories. The mid-panel sections are detailed with a tonal debossed pattern of the smiley in a repeating application. The base foundation is a smooth white leather with bright prints, allowing the vibrant Swoosh on the side to stand out in bright purple and pink, which are Leal's favorite colors.
