NIKE SB DUNK LOW PRO "J-PACK", OUT OF THE SHADOW
Nike SB Dunks have been in demand for 2020 due to a lot of collaborations and a lot of hype, but the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack release of the “Shadow” colorway is a much-needed addition in a staple color to add your collection as true Dunks lover. The J-Pack Dunks debuted 15 years ago in 2005 with the “Royal” J-Pack release and are inspired by the color blocking of the Air Jordan 1's. The “Shadow” stays true to its namesake with a mix of soft tumbled leather and lush suede in black and grey throughout the upper. The Swoosh is grey also, but, wait for it - it’s a buttery suede instead of leather. The upper is encased in black leather and suede, while grey accents continue in the flat, wax laces and so is the outsole. The insole boasts the Zoom Air cushioning system and the shoe is completed by the clean white midsole that gives a little light to the shadows in the upper.You can find these gems in selected sneaker stores around the globe. -
