Nike SB Dunk Low Hyper Royal Malachite

The Nike SB Dunk Low Hyper Royal Malachite pairs a bright royal blue with a green malachite tone on the skate-spec Dunk platform. Buy it if you want an SB colourway that is doing something more interesting than a standard two-tone block.

The SB build is the reason to pay the premium. There is a Zoom Air unit in the heel, a thick padded tongue, a reinforced collar and heavier suede across the upper, all engineered to survive board impact. Practically, it means these are more comfortable for standing and walking than a lifestyle Dunk and take far longer to wear through.

This is for skaters and for collectors who want a colourway with contrast rather than one flat tone. The blue and green combination works best against neutral clothing since the shoe is already doing the work.

Nike SB produces in a fraction of the volume of Nike's retail Dunk line, and pairs go to skate shops rather than general release. Two-colour SB combinations are among the first to sell through.

One pair, size 9.5. Deadstock, verified in hand in Dallas before listing.
