The Skateboard section of Nike regularly invites skateshops and specialized brands to bring their touch to their cult silhouette, the SB Dunk Low. Like SUPREME, the label APRIL SKATEBOARDS unveils its own reinterpretation.
Talented Australian skateboarder Shane O’Neill joined the Nike team in 2014 when he was just 14 years old. Also sponsored by Thunder Trucks, Villager, Diamond Supply & Co, Spitfire Wheels and Primitive Skateboards, he announced in 2018 left the last brand to found his own company : APRIL SKATEBOARDS. Active since May 2019, Shane O’Neill’s team includes a dozen skateboarders including Diego Najera, Yuto Horigome and Yosef Ratleff. With a strong relationship with the Swoosh brand, the famous Australian skateboarder got a signature shoe in 2020, the Nike SB Shane, a model in the image of the skateboarder : simple and effective.
Shane O’Neill expands his partnership with Nike SB by reinterpreting the popular SB Dunk Low through his April Skateboards brand.
This exclusive version sports a fresh and eye-catching look by appearing in a white and teal pastel color palette.
The skateshoe consists of a white mesh upper with a matching perforated leather toe box and teal suede overlays. To complete the design, the side Swoosh is featured in metallic silver and APRIL branding adorns the side heel and heel tab also in silver-grey. The whole is based on a white midsole and a semi-translucent icy outsole that reveals APRIL’s ‘pink’ floral logo in teal underfoot.
A white/purple version has also surfaced. It seems that it’s reserved for Friends & Family.
The April Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low is expected to be released in the summer of 2023 at a price of $120, in selected skateshops and on nike.com. For the latest official details, stay tuned !
