# Reinterpreted Supple Suede Sneakers The Nike SB Dunk Low Arrives in a Unique Character Theme By Amy Duong | Published 2020-09-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/9/staple-pigeon-warren-lotas-reinterpreted-og-shoes-sell-out-nike-sb-dunk-low-info) Jeff Staple's [Staple Pigeon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staple-x-brooks-ghost-trail) brand works in collaboration with artist and designer Warren Lotas on a pair of the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway) [SB Dunk Low](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-stardust-colorway) sneakers in a custom manner. Following the launch of the Friday the 13th sneaker, the updated iteration is made to be more accessible. Lotas addresses the issues that surround the limitations and the many fake versions that circulate. He explains that the purpose of the pre-order will combat this as it takes three to four months to create as every single pair is made with premium Italian materials and personally done by himself. The show is made with gray mesh, suede, and leather materials paneling for a textural look throughout. It has a white Swoosh at the midfoot and red and black details to capture the look of Jason Voorhees in the hockey mask.
