In the world of Nike SB, inspiration knows no bounds. This time, the skate-centric collective teams up with Albino & Preto for a special collaboration that draws inspiration from the world of jiu-jitsu apparel. Prepare to be captivated by the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low, as it takes a bold step in a new direction.
For the first time ever, the iconic Dunk Low silhouette gets a unique makeover with a cream-colored upper that showcases the influence of jiu-jitsu belts. The fabric used on the shoe's upper resembles the layered cotton commonly seen on martial arts belts, adding a distinctive touch to the design. Enhanced durability and attention to detail are evident in the non-standard stitching, staying true to Albino & Preto's signature style.
Adding to the striking aesthetics, the profile swooshes feature a contrasting black finish, paying homage to the namesake of Albino & Preto. The combination of "Albino" (white) and "Preto" (black in Portuguese) represents the beginner and master belt ranks in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, creating a visual representation of the collaboration's inspiration.
Completing the look is a sleek, two-tone sole unit that adds a clean and cohesive touch to the overall design. As anticipation builds for the official Nike SNKRS launch, take a first look at this extraordinary collaboration that merges skateboarding culture and martial arts aesthetics.
Stay tuned for further updates on the release date and availability of the Nike SB Dunk Low x Albino & Preto collaboration. It's time to embrace the fusion of style and combat in this exciting partnership.
