Arts-Rec x Nike Dunk Low SB "For Recreational Use" IH3211-200

Inspired by San Diego’s laidback spirit and the lush scenery of Balboa Park, the Arts-Rec x Nike SB Dunk Low reworks the classic silhouette with a layered, textured look. The upper combines rust pink nubuck on the toe and collar with olive-toned tumbled leather through the mid-panels, delivering a grounded, earthy palette. A soft amber suede Swoosh adds contrast, while khaki overlays feature a debossed panther-style pattern that subtly nods to wildlife themes.

There’s more happening beneath the surface. Custom sockliners feature animal print graphics, and the laces are colour-matched to the panels for a cohesive finish. A Sail midsole paired with a semi-translucent outsole completes the build, balancing retro charm with modern cues.

This release doesn’t just reference nostalgia—it builds on it with careful material choices, a worn-in aesthetic, and thoughtful detailing that speaks to the San Diego skate scene. Quiet hits of branding and hidden artwork give it that extra layer for those paying attention.

Expect demand to be high. With its mix of heritage and local storytelling, the Arts-Rec Dunk Low offers more than just looks—it brings a familiar shape to life with a sense of place.
