From the vibrant and unexpected colorways of the earlier years to recent thematic masterpieces, Nike SB has undoubtedly carved a niche for itself in the sneaker realm. While its creative tales often lean into specific events or subcultures, the Valentine's Day theme has been relatively untouched in recent years. That narrative is about to change. As lovers look forward to the romance-filled day in 2024, sneakerheads too have a reason to celebrate by unveiling a Valentine's Day-themed Nike SB Dunk Low.
Drenched in a rich palette that includes shades of burgundy crush, dark team red, earth, dark pony, and university red, this rendition of the SB Dunk Low tells a story of love and connection. The Swoosh features a cracked leather finish, while hairy suede acts as the base of the upper. Tumbled nubuck overlays come in a slightly different red shade that contrasts the darker hues of the laces, tongue, and sockliner. But what piques intrigue are the intimate details hidden in plain sight. Peek inside, and you'll find a lush suede insole etched with a poignant graphic: two hands with a red string tied around their pinky fingers. This subtle yet powerful imagery evokes an East Asian myth, suggesting that divine forces link individuals meant to find one another, tying their destinies with an invisible red thread. This same theme is applied to the tongue tag which features Nike SB branding and a red string running throughout.
Alongside this pair, another City of Love SB Dunk Low will be releasing, though it takes on a Light Bone finish.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Premium Paris City of Love Burgundy Crush will release February 9, 2024, via Nike SNKRS while skate shops will release the pair on a different date. Offered in men's sizing, the pair will retail for $125.
