Each week, we’ll select one standout pair, be it a classic, sleeper, new drop, or something with a story worth telling. Plus, Chase will give his verdict.

This week, we’ve tapped…

In this issue, we’ll be exploring the new Limosine Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low, a football-inspired colorway of the iconic skate shoe that is winning over the ever-fickle skate and sneaker communities.

Released on June 19th, the SB Dunk Low by Limosine Skateboards features buttery brown pebbled leather reminiscent of football cowhide. Its standout detail is the tongue, where white “laces” stretch from the toe box to the leather tongue tag, mimicking the look of a classic pigskin. Printed Swooshes along the sides echo the design of a football, rounding out the theme.

While we’re a few years removed from the SB Dunk’s peak hype cycle, the Limosine SB Dunk proves the silhouette still has creative legs. It’s a reminder that for every headline-grabbing collab—be it Ben & Jerry’s, The Wizard of Oz, or the Grateful Dead—the SB Dunk remains deeply rooted in skate culture. And in that space, there’s still plenty of room for originality.

Nike SB and New York-based Limosine Skateboards are teaming up for their first collaboration, reimagining the Dunk Low with a unique football-inspired design that dropped on June 19, 2025.

This special edition is a home run—or rather, a touchdown—in every sense of the word. The brown pebbled leather upper mimics the texture of a football, while the white lace detailing on the tongue recalls classic pigskin laces. It’s old-school Nike SB: the brand giving an exciting, up-and-coming skate label the freedom to flex its creative chops on the ultimate blank canvas: the SB Dunk.

The Limosine x SB Dunk is a reminder that no matter how many times we think the Dunk’s hype has cooled off or gone too mainstream, Nike SB still knows how to spark fresh excitement for skaters and sneakerheads alike.

Patta’s history with the Nike Air Max 90 runs deep. The Amsterdam-based brand first left its mark on the silhouette in 2006 with the legendary “Homegrown” collab. Now, nearly two decades later, Patta returns with a one-two punch of fresh colorways as part of the expanding “Waves Pack”—a series that originally appeared on the Air Max 1 in 2021. Buy them now →

Inspiration in the sneaker world often comes from unexpected places, and the new Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Soft Yellow”—nicknamed the “Frobe”—is a perfect example. The colorway is inspired by a photo of a young Kobe practicing in pajamas while recovering from a broken hand during the 1999–2000 NBA season.

Standout details include oversized “8s” on the heels, nodding to his original Lakers’ jersey number, and a graphic of Kobe mid-practice printed on the insoles, grounding the design in a personal moment from his early career. Buy them now →

In celebration of the Air Jordan 1’s 40th anniversary, Jordan Brand unveiled all sixteen original 1985 colorways of the Air Jordan 1 High, reimagined in the ultra-rare '85 cut. The reveal came courtesy of Jordan Brand employee @bookofrowan, who shared a sneak peek at the full lineup via a special exhibit at Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon headquarters.

While Nike originally dropped all sixteen colorways back in 1985, only four have seen a retail release in true '85 form so far: “Neutral Grey,” “Black/White,” “Metallic Burgundy,” and the iconic “Bred.” The rest remain sample exclusives—at least for now.

There’s reason to believe more are on the way. In December 2024, DJ Chase B teased the “Royal” on Instagram. A few months later, Nike collaborator Julian Gaines showcased the “Chicago,” and more recently, Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design was spotted in the “UNC” pair.

Whether this is a one-off moment or the start of a full rollout, Jordan Brand clearly knows how to stoke excitement.

It’s a post-sneaker world, and we’re all living in it. In 2024, New Balance shocked everyone with the debut of the 1906L: a sleek, slip-on version of the beloved 1906R with the upper’s lid cleanly chopped off. The viral loafer-sneaker hybrid tapped perfectly into the ongoing menswear revival seen all over modern street fashion.

Soon after, brands like HOKA, Mizuno, and Converse followed suit, each dropping their own takes on the crossover style.

Now, Nike is officially joining the movement with the Air Max Phenomena, as teased by atmos Creative Director Hiroshi Kojima, its first real entry into the emerging loafer-sneaker space—further proof that the lines between sporty and stylish continue to blur.

The Air Max Phenomena is designed by Nike’s in-house Serena Williams Design Crew and features the sole unit from the recently reintroduced Nike Air Sunder. Up top, a premium tumbled leather (seen here in black) is paired with a synthetic mudguard in “Cool Grey,” giving the silhouette a sleek, elevated finish.

While Nike has yet to confirm an official release date, a “coming soon” teaser suggests the Air Max Phenomena could be arriving sooner rather than later.

Every week, we spotlight a standout sneaker moment caught on social, whether it’s from our own Culture Kicks feed or a fit check from an athlete, celebrity, or style-forward creator.
