Nike SB Dunk Low Pro "Bronx Girls Skate" QS - Black / White - Challenge Red - Total Orange

From The Bronx to the World

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Bronx Girls Skate’ (BXGS) celebrates the raw energy and creativity of the Bronx. Designed by Mel Ramirez and Kava Vasquez, this limited edition rejects the stereotypes of ‘feminine’ footwear. It captures the essence of the borough: a mix of wet asphalt, accessible luxury and community pride. It's a classic, sturdy black shoe made for everyone to wear and ride in.

Asphalt & Jewelry

A rich aesthetic that blends textures and cultural references:

• Textured ‘Galuchat’ Leather: The black upper features a unique grainy texture reminiscent of galuchat leather (or the asphalt of skate spots), contrasting with smooth leather inserts. A direct reference to luxury handbags and the street.
• Gold Jewellery & Dubraes: To honour the style of Bronx girls, often considered ‘too much’, the pair features bold details: a gold “BXGS” lace jewel (imitating bamboo rings) and an ‘NY’ medallion hanging from the heel, a symbol of local pride.
• Subway Map Piping: The contours of the Swoosh and panels are highlighted by coloured piping (red, orange, green), an abstraction of the subway lines that connect the Bronx to the rest of the city.

Hidden Details & Comfort

• Satin Lining: The interior is lined with silky satin, a nod to the ‘bonnets’ used to protect hair at night. Comfort and culture combined.
• Message Insoles: The insoles feature personal messages from the founders and a graphic map, reflecting the collective's values of unity (‘Soy porque somos’).
• Translucent Sole: The ‘Icy’ outsole reveals a custom graphic, completing this ultra-detailed design.

Embrace the authentic New York look. Wear these Dunks with wide baggy jeans (like in the 90s) and don't hesitate to accessorise with gold jewellery to echo the details of the shoe. It's time to shine.
