Nike and Arts-Rec Join Forces on the SB Dunk Low Model
Nike works in collaboration with San Diego-based skate and sneaker shop Arts-Rec to create its own iteration of the SB Dunk Low sneaker model. It is detailed with a colorway with hues of Khaki, Amber Brown, Rust, and Rough Green. The model is joining the roster for the Fall 2025 season.
The upper is made from a blend of materials that ranges from a pink toe box to overlays which are inspired by animal print. The midfoot paneling is finished in green and the Swoosh branding emblems are finished in a shaggy orange hue. Rounding out the model are wordmarks at the lateral heel section which nod to the shop, and a release date will come later this year.
