Nike SB Dunk Low “Palm Tree” Available Saturday March 13th

The first of two March Nike SB Quickstrikes, the “Wallenberg Palm Tree” Dunk will be available on Saturday, March 13th at 11:00 am.

The colorway for this Dunk Low was designed by artist and designer extraordinaire, Bob Kronbauer as a tribute to a famous skatespot in San Francisco, CA– the Wallenberg stair set, and a little Palm Tree that has grown at the spot and appeared in notable Skate Mags and Videos over the last 20 years.

Bob drops some serious knowledge on the inspiration for this design on his blog MUMBLE. In Bob’s words, “The colorway draws a palette from the palm tree itself while utilizing hemp for the Swoosh. The white midsole represents the step and has a visible “waxed ledge” around the top of it, just like that step at Wallenberg. Lastly, the insoles each contain a pixelated image of the palm tree itself, giving a nod to all of the times it has appeared in skate videos over the years.”

A pretty cool concept behind this one, and a timely drop with the approaching St. Patrick’s Day Holiday as well.
