When it comes to iconic partnerships in the world of skateboarding & sportswear, Nike SB's name invariably tops the list. This September, the world stands to witness yet another groundbreaking collaboration, as the brand partners with Albino & Preto, a name synonymous with the fusion of martial arts tradition and modern lifestyle design. The result? The Nike SB A&P Dunk Low - a footwear masterpiece that embodies the essence of Jiu-Jitsu, skateboarding, and every dedication-filled step in between.
A Creative Communion: Albino & Preto x Nike SB
Building on the foundation of mutual respect and camaraderie, both Nike SB and Albino & Preto have successfully carved their unique niche in their respective spheres. Albino & Preto, renowned for its innovative twist on the classic kimonos, seamlessly transitions martial arts culture from its core foundations to its most evolved state. And now, they've infused that ethos into the iconic silhouette of the Nike SB Dunk.
