Nike SB Dunk Low « What The P-Rod »

The Swoosh brand unveiled an SB Dunk Low paying tribute to Paul Rodriguez aka P-Rod, the first professional skateboarder to receive a signature model at Nike SB in 2005. Using the heritage of the old versions of P-Rod, an SB Dunk Low « What The P-Rod » was created.

Paul Rodriguez is an American professional skateboarder of Mexican origin who has won numerous contests, such as the X Games and the Dew Tour. He’s one of Nike SB’s most beloved athletes. These previously developed signature models represent the skateboarding culture and were sometimes inspired by his Mexican origins and his love for another sport, boxing. In 2008, P-Rod founded his own label, PRIMITIVE, for which he still rides today.

The « What The P-Rod » has a daring, mismatched look. It combines many patterns and colors in reference to the iconic SB P-Rods. We find the striped pattern with floral notes of the « Mexican Blanket » on the toe box on the right foot. For the left foot, the Elephant Print reminiscent of the « J-Rods » is combined with the beige and black toe box of the « Stash ». The colors of the laces refer to the design of these old models, and the padded linings correspond to « P-Rod 2 ». The Side Swooshes come in different constructions and sizes. To complete the tribute, the pair is embellished with dubraes inspired by the boxing champions’ belts, taken from the « Mexican Boxing » released in 2020. One of the outsole appears in traditional rubber and the other is dressed in the colors of the Mexican flag, thus honoring the origins and personality of Paul Rodriguez.

The Nike SB Dunk Low « What The P-Rod » should be released during this year 2021, in selected skateshops and on nike.com. More infos to come, stay tuned !
