The Nike SB Dunk Low Strangelove is a highly liked shoe that was released in February 2020 as a collab with Nike and the skateboarding brand Strangelove. This unique sneaker was created with insane attention to detail showing lots of designs and inspirations to capture the essence of the Strangelove brand and its founder, Sean Cliver.

The main reason behind the Nike Strangelove Dunk is from the crazy art and skateboarding culture in 1960-70. The shoe has a vibrant pink and red color combo that looks amazing with crazy aesthetics, creating a visually appealing/striking and nostalgic shoe. The heart shaped branding on the tongue and back, and the velvet material used on the toe box and sides and back, give the shoe a beautiful and comfortable touch.

The Nike Strangelove Dunk was made with skateboarding in mind, as it is part of Nike’s SB (Skateboarding) shoes. The shoe’s design has key features that help with its performance and durability on the skateboard. The low-top dunk provides freedom of movement, while the thick padding on the lip and tongue offers comfort and protection while skating. The Zoom Air part in the heel provides responsive cushioning, making it suitable for impact landings and really cool tricks.

The reasoning behind the creation of the Nike Strangelove Dunk lies in the team up between Nike and Strangelove. The collab was to celebrate the special vision and fancyness of Sean Cliver, who is known for his influential contributions to skateboard designs and artwork. By combining Nike’s sneaker design and Strangelove’s distinct style, the collab resulted in a shoe that mixes the skateboarding culture with art creativity.

Also, the Strangelove Dunk was created with the intention of attracting sneaker enthusiasts and collectors. The limited edition shoe, with its unique design and huge backstory, generated insane hype and demand in the sneaker community, with resell prices often exceeding its original retail value (resell around $2,400 depending on size).
