The Arts-Rec x Nike SB Dunk Low is set to release this summer with a bold design full of storytelling. This collaboration with San Diego’s Arts-Rec blends skateboarding, style, and local flavor into one standout sneaker.
The upper uses earthy tones and layered textures. Rust pink nubuck covers the toe and collar, while olive green tumbled leather fills the side panels. Amber suede Swooshes and khaki overlays with a debossed animal print bring a strong safari aesthetic.
Heel tabs display “arts” and “rec” embroidery, with “for recreational use” stamped on the side. A translucent outsole reveals “Arts-Recreation San Diego California,” paying tribute to the brand’s hometown. The sneaker also includes four lace sets and custom Zoom Air pods featuring animal graphics.
Inside, fun phrases like “Please Do Not Tap On Glass” and “Please Do Not Feed the Animals” tie into the zoo theme. A hidden UFO graphic on the inner tongue nods to San Diego’s local lore.
