The New Nike SB x HUF Dunk Low Sneaker Pays Homage to Keith Hufnagel
Niko Pajkovic — August 6, 2022 — Fashion
Nike SB has officially teamed up with skate brand HUF to launch an all-new Dunk Low sneaker silhouette, which arrives as a tribute to the brand's late founder Keith Hufnagel, who passed away two years ago due to cancer. In addition, the new silhouette is being offered in three colorways: one that pays homage to New York City, another dedicated to friends and family, and a third that evokes the imagery of San Francisco.
No doubt, the headlining sneaker is the NYC model, which leverages a Yankee-themed color scheme. As a result, the shoe's leather uppers feature both white and dark navy panels, while the heels come adorned with an etched illustration of New York's retro skyline.
