Daniel Kim’s Stingwater brand has teamed up with Nike Skateboarding to release a collaborative SB Dunk Low this year. Inspired by Stingwater’s central motifs—mushrooms, and their mythical properties, this Nike SB Dunk Low features bold shades of University Red, with material overlays featuring a safari print that mimics the top of a mushroom. Embroidery on each heel inverts Nike’s iconic Futura wordmark, while additional stitch-work behind each tongue advises the wearer to ’empty your mind’ in search of new perspective. In another nod to fungi, the shoe’s inner lining mimics the gill of a mushroom. The style also includes a hidden zip pocket for discreet storage. Finally, a clear jewel Swoosh combines with scattered lettering to boldly brand this quirky creation.
