If you’re into skateboarding, chances are you’ve heard of Alexis Sablone. World-renowned for her three-time X Games gold medal victories, the goofy-footed American rider is an absolute icon when it comes to the half-pipe. So it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that, not only is she getting her own Converse sneaker, she’s also working on the Alexis Sablone x Nike SB Dunk Low too.
Adding a unique twist to the classic design, Sablone’s first SB Dunk boasts a series of reptile-textured overlays that are painted in a gradient of “Sage Green,” purple and brown. The Nike Swoosh across the lateral and medial sidewalls is also decked out in a similar finish, and it’s dipped in a rich olive colour scheme. This hue extends to the thick laces, and it can also be found along the inside of the trainer.
One of the sneaker’s most unique details is that it has been designed to transform over time. The outer layer of paint will gradually wear off, revealing a striking fuchsia colour beneath. All of this then rests on top of a Zoom Air midsole, which has been given decked out in a pre-yellowed effect for some seriously vintage vibes.
