Since the news first leaked in April, sneaker enthusiasts worldwide have been eagerly anticipating the release of the April Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low, and that day has finally arrived. Created in collaboration with Australian professional skater Shane O’Neill, this is the brand’s first shoe in partnership with Nike, and judging by the buzz it has already generated, it probably won’t be the last.

Unlike most Dunks, the April Skateboards version completely abandons the usual all-leather construction for a breathable White mesh base. Racer Blue suede overlays wrap around the entire upper, drawing immediate comparisons to a certain 2019 Air Jordan 1 High OG if you’ve been a sneaker enthusiast for a while.
The April branding is stitched on the back and heel, while a very shiny chrome swoosh runs across the lateral and medial panels. Underfoot, the SB Dunk rests on a Zoom Air midsole to provide enhanced comfort and cushioning during halfpipes, finished with an icy rubber outsole featuring a rose graphic inside, which is April Skateboards’ signature.

From Born x Raised and Crenshaw Skate Club to Supreme and Yuto Horigome, if you love SB Dunk collaborations, this year has been significant. However, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the old-school silhouette, so if you thought things were going to slow down, you were mistaken.
