We keep getting a lot of Nike SB Dunks as a pack in 2022. Making the headlines among the sneaker community is the baseball-inspired Nike SB Dunk MLB collection. After the hype brought by the Fruity Pack, this is another highly anticipated pack consisting of Major League Baseball teams. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Phillies” joins the likes of the Mets, Dodgers, and Giants colourways; each pair rocking the uniform colours and details about each team.
Fans of these MLB teams can get the chance to rep their faves wearing these sneakers. But the overall style and aesthetic of each colourway also make it suitable even for non-baseball fans.
The Nike SB Dunk took its design origins from the Nike Dunk, a 1985 basketball shoe. Popularized by US NCAA teams rocking two-tone Nike Dunks, the trainer went on to become a classic lifestyle staple. Skateboarders also chose the Nike Dunk as one of their footwear options aside from the Air Jordan 1. And thus in 2002, Nike officially launched the Nike SB label, also marking the debut of the Nike SB Dunk.
With specifications made for skateboarding, the Nike SB Dunk Low features a padded tongue, cushioned sockliner with Zoom in the heel, and narrow-spaced grooves on the outsole.
This Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Phillies” represents the Philadelphia Phillies with its University Blue suede base. Smooth suede makes up the vamp and quarter, while fuzzy suede covers the rest of the overlays. Team Red makes up the Swoosh logos and the Nike SB Dunk label on the tongue.
Popular Philadelphia icons appear inside the padded tongue, a gum rubber outsole with a pink bubblegum splat detail finishes it off. Keep an eye out for this pair along with other MLB Nike SB Dunk colourways coming soon. more in hand shots of this shoe available here.
