Yuto Horigome X Nike SB Dunk Low White/Grey-Brown FQ1180-001

Description

Japanese professional skateboarder, Yuto Horigome is best known for winning the Gold medal in the inaugural Olympic men’s street event at the 2020 Summer Olympics. By achieving this, he became the first person ever to win a Gold medal in skateboarding at the Olympics. To celebrate this feat, Yuto will be getting his very own Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration.

The Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Dunk Low is constructed out of leather, suede and mesh. It features a White base, Grey overlays and Chocolate Brown detailing around the collar and rubber outsole. Toe boxes, tongues and quarter panels are left colorless exteriors and come neighbored by supply suede overlays and smooth leather Swooshes that are drowned in a muted gray. The Japanese skater’s moniker replaces the usual shoe silhouette’s name under the tongue’s Nike SB branding while a cross-feather insignia is stamped to the lateral heels. A subtle touch of dusty pink arrives on the heightened parts of the heel while brown accents through the collars. Down below, the midsoles are designed with a clean white finish while the bottoms are done up with an all-brown paint job.

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.
