One of the most highly anticipated SB Dunk releases of 2022 finally lands this November. While the colour scheme alone is enough to make the shoe a must-cop pair, the message behind it gives even more meaning. The Nike SB Dunk Low Premium Why So Sad? focuses on mental health and suicide prevention as Scottish skater John Rattray seeks to empower his campaign to conquer depression. Good designs and an inspirational backstory gave the shoe a lot of attention among the sneaker community.
We all know that Nike SB Dunks are always popular no matter what. Getting the spotlight in November is the mental health-focused SB Dunk Low Why So Sad? John Rattray used this rhetoric to somehow encourage anyone going through depression to speak to someone who can listen.
The Nike SB Dunk made its debut in 2002 as the pioneer footwear of the then newly-launched Nike SB label. While most of the Dunk aesthetics remain, the SB Dunk features various modifications to make the shoe suitable for skateboarding.
Notable details include the thick, padded tongue, Zoom Air in the heel sockliner, and narrow traction patterns. What makes the Nike SB Dunk extremely popular are the various collabs every year that appear like clockwork.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Premium Why So Sad? is a design by John Rattway as a nod to his “Why So Sad?” campaign. This sneaker features a Light Blue base with darker shades on the overlays. Red and Gold hues cover the tongue and heel with question marks, and the Why So Sad branding inside the tongue.
Why So Sad?’s chicken on a bike logo appears on the lateral rear panel of the shoe.
A translucent icy outsole completes this awesome pair.
Stay tuned for its release in November 2022 on the official Nike UK website, as well as select sneaker retailers.
