Pride-Honoring Low-Cut Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike SB Launches Another Be True Design of the Dunk Low

— March 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike SB celebrates upcoming Pride Month with a new iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model, adding to the Be True edition. This latest iteration rests on a white leather upper and detailed with a waved rainbow stitching over the heel section and the branded Swoosh.

Addition details include mismatching design over the heel tab to appear as if it is UV-reactive and changes colors with heat signatures. This function is noted through the contrast-stitching that is applied in a gradient form from green to orange hues, which can be seen at the insoles, the mid-foot bottom, and the tongue tab section. The lateral side is rounded out with a BE TRUE stitching and the laces are complete in soft blue and pink.
