Nike SB Dunks haven’t kept up the insane hype they had in 2020, but the shoe has still kept skate shops busy with a solid mix of collaborations and general releases. The SB staple is looking to keep that trend going into 2026, and if a newly leaked pair of SB Dunk Lows in a Mineral Slate colorway is any indication, the consistent heat isn’t going anywhere.
First leaked by Instagram user @sbheadsbe, the Mineral Slate colorway features a full suede upper with a teal toebox, tongue, mid-foot panel, and heel swoop blocked around a cream or tan suede on the rest of the shoe, minus the black leather Swoosh. The midsole is tan with contrast black stitching, while the sole itself is a classic gum bottom for style and added board feel for skate appeal.
Nike SB previously used the same shades of slate teal, cream, and black on a SB Dunk High in 2022./While the colors and name on that shoe are the same, the slate suede covered the mudguard, heel overlay, and eyestays, while the toebox and midfoot panel were turned black, with the cream color only showing up on the Swoosh. The 2026 low top reshuffles the colorway for the better if you ask us, with the cream taking more prominence this time around.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Mineral Slate is expected to release in Summer 2026 through Nike SB retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is slated at $120.
