Description
Privy to some of the best-themed collections Nike Sportswear has to offer, the Nike Dunk Low has been included in everything from the Chinese New Year collection to the brand’s HBCU series.
To further this retro remembrance, a new colorway and design has been layered onto the silhouette as part of Nike’s new-but-aged “Athletic Company” collection. Grey suede overlays are placed over a white canvas base for textural contrast. The Swoosh and lining adopt a classic red hue for a pop of color, but note that the Swoosh has a cracked finish, adding a vintage flair to the design.
“Athletic Dept 1972” is printed on the insole alongside a bulldog graphic, likely a nod to the year Nike came out with their own Swoosh-branded shoe but reimagined in a Varsity-themed look. Rounding out the aged aesthetic are yellowed midsoles and laces, making it seem as if this pair of Dunks truly survived through the 80s.
Pairing egg nog tinted laces with the midsole’s matching aged ensemble, a solid grey coat envelops the tread in a clad fashion in tandem with the cast of its heel panel and accented tongue tab Swooshes completing the recurring theme.
What does SB mean in Nike SB Dunk Low?

Why are SB dunks so popular?
By the mid-’90s, the Nike Dunk had become a cult favorite amongst the skateboarding community, thanks to its superior cushioning, support and traction
Are dunks or SB dunks more comfortable?
Are Dunks Or SB Dunks More Comfortable? An older SB Dunk can be more comfortable than a regular (non-SB) Dunk. Modern Dunk and SB Dunk releases tend to be stiffer right out of the box. As such, modern regular Dunks are more accommodating than their SB counterparts
Dunk vs SB Dunk: What’s the Difference Between the Sneakers?
The most noticeable difference between the two sneakers are their tongues. On the Nike Dunk, you get a slim, mesh tongue. On the SB Dunk, the tongue has been beefed up to provide more cushion and protection. By being thicker, the tongue helps with the fit as well. It enables the sneaker to mold to your feet, preventing any slipping or wiggling. The tongue is held down with elastic straps which provide an added layer of lockdown. As a bonus, it allows you to slip the SB Dunk on and off without having to mess with finicky laces.
