[Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway) works in collaboration with San Diego-based skate and sneaker shop Arts-Rec to create its own iteration of the [SB Dunk Low](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snakeskin-colorway-3). 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.
