Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Filbert light Chocolate Black Burgundy Ash

The Dunk Low Pro in a Filbert, Black and Chocolate Color Block

Color block, low profile, pivot circle: the Dunk Low Pro is recognized by three traits, and it keeps all three. Born on basketball courts in 1985, adopted by skaters, it became the foundation of Nike SB in 2002. More than forty years later, the shape hasn't moved, only the materials and the cushioning have. This colorway sticks to the original blueprint: clean blocks of color, assembled without fuss.

Filbert, a sandy khaki, covers the toe, the lace panel and the heel. Black takes the center of the sidewall and the top of the toe box, perforated for airflow. The smooth light-chocolate Swoosh cuts against the suede. The laces follow in a deep brown, the tongue switches to black mesh with its woven Nike SB Dunk Low Pro label, and the filbert heel tab carries the NIKE embroidered in brown. Underfoot, a burgundy ash midsole sits on a chocolate outsole. The upper is leather with a suede finish: it softens over time and takes on a vintage look.

The padded collar wraps the ankle, the foam midsole absorbs, and the Zoom Air cushioning gives a sharper pop with every ollie. Under the forefoot, the rubber pivot circle improves grip and remains one of the pair's visual landmarks. Let the leather break in: a few sessions are enough for it to mold to your foot. And if you wear it around town instead of on the board, the padded collar and foam do the same job every day.

FAQ

• What's the pivot circle under the forefoot for? It improves outsole grip under the forefoot, the zone where your foot pivots on the board. It's also one of the Dunk's signature marks.
• Will the leather stay stiff? No. It softens over time and takes on a vintage look. Give it a few sessions to loosen up.
• What does Zoom Air cushioning change? It gives a sharper pop underfoot, useful on takeoffs as well as landings.
