The Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Arts‑Rec’ (2025) marks a standout collaboration in Nike Skateboarding’s ongoing celebration of grassroots skate culture, blending local San Diego flavor with the iconic SB Dunk Low silhouette. Designed in partnership with Arts‑Rec Skateshop—a community‑focused skate and culture hub founded by pro skateboarder Kellen James—the 2025 Arts‑Rec Dunk delivers a striking fusion of earthy tones, layered textures, and narrative‑driven details reflecting the city’s vibrant energy and natural inspirations.
Overview
Dressed in a distinctive Khaki, Amber Brown, Rough Green, Rust Pink, Black, and Sail palette, the Arts‑Rec x Nike SB Dunk Low pairs a mix of rust pink nubuck and olive green tumbled leather across the upper with amber brown suede Swooshes and khaki overlays with subtle animal print accents, giving a nod to classic safari aesthetics. The design’s storytelling runs deep: “arts” and “rec” embroidery on the heels replace standard branding, while sidewall text reading “for recreational use” and semi‑translucent outsoles stamped with “Arts‑Recreation San Diego California” celebrate the shop’s roots and hometown spirit. Hidden graphics—like zoo‑inspired phrases on the tongue tags and custom sockliner art—further enrich the narrative, tying back to the Balboa Park Zoo and local lore. This collaborative sneaker debuted in July 2025, releasing first at Arts‑Rec and select skate shops before a wider drop on SNKRS, and retailed at approximately $140 USD.
