Street artists and sneakers share a close-knit connection that has spawned many iconic sneaker releases over the years. Many of these collaborations have achieved "holy grail" status, where the pairs are extremely rare and command high resale prices beyond the reach of the average sneakerhead.
One such legendary partnership is between living street art icon Futura and Nike SB. Futura has lent his signature graffiti-inspired art to numerous sneaker collaborations, including the UNKLE SB Dunks and the first Futura x Paul Rodriguez SB. His most recent collaboration was the unreleased Off-White x Futura Dunk Low.
Now, Futura fans have something to look forward to - the Futura Laboratories x Nike SB Dunk Low is finally slated for release in May 2024. This collaboration serves as a visual showcase of Futura's creative style, featuring colorful layers of mesh and canvas that perfectly complement his abstract art.
Distinguishing features of the Futura Laboratories x Nike SB Dunk Low include the iconic Futura signature on the tongue and heel, as well as the "FL" Futura Laboratories logo on the medial side. While the blue colorway has been confirmed for a global release, the status of the orange colorway remains uncertain.
Priced at $135 MSRP, these Futura x Nike SB Dunks are sure to be highly coveted by sneaker enthusiasts. Those able to secure a pair will truly have a reason to celebrate this long-awaited collaboration.
