A handful of the Dunk Lows that Nike and its Nike SB division have been unveiling this year are ones that make reference to a past colorway. For example, we’ve seen the model channel a duo of ACG Terra colorways as well as mimic the Air Jordan 1 High “Celtics” iteration. And now the Nike SB Dunk Low is harking back to the early days of the Air Max 90 and replicating its “Laser Blue” palette.Not only does the Swoosh’s skate family hit the bullseye when it come to the hues, but it also translates the constructions to a tee. The silhouette — which usually is formed with leather toe boxes and collars — trades them out for a mesh material to match its muse and forms its mid-foot with pure white leather. A neutral gray tone outfits the suede Swooshes and the rear overlay is drenched in black to translate the look of the AM 90’s mudguard. More titular hits can be found on the tongue branding and heel overlays. The lower parts of the shoe are built with white midsoles and treading is completely dripped in “Laser Blue.”It’s still unclear when these are going to hit the shelves, but SNKRS and other skate shops will likely drop them in the coming months.For more footwear news, check out a first glance at the Quartersnacks x Nike SB Dunk Low “Zebra”.

The (Air Jordan 1) mid is selling, so Jordan Brand is set to release a new “Denim” colorway loosely inspired by a famous Levi’s collaboration from 2008. Boasting potent colorblocking and unique alternate materials, this Air Jordan 1 Mid may not be nearly as rare as its predecessor, but its combination of style and accessibility still have the potential to make it a modern-day hit.Blue denim that provides the shoe with its moniker is present on toeboxes, quarters and collars alike. It’s accented by red suede mudguards, eyestays, heels and collar flaps. Tan is introduced into the mix on Swooshes, the collar’s ball-and-wings logo, contrast stitching and trim for a potential nod to the leather tags often found on the rear of jeans. A tan Jumpman logo is embroidered on the red nylon tongue, and down below the look is rounded off by white midsoles that sit atop classic gum outsoles.A release date for the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Denim” has yet to be officially announced by Nike, but it’s likely arriving at retailers sometime this summer. The MSRP will be set at $115 USD.For more news from the world of Air Jordan take a look at the new Air Jordan 4 “Red Thunder,” which is rumored to release this fall.
