A Dunk Inspired By One Of New Mexico's Most Famous Traditions

Nike SB has never been shy about building stories into its releases, and the latest Nike SB Dunk Low "Hatch Chile" continues that tradition with one of the brand's most unique inspirations yet.

Drawing from the famous Hatch chile harvest in New Mexico, the Dunk Low uses colour to tell the story of the pepper's journey from mild to fiery. Premium leather panels transition through soft beige, vibrant green, and rich yellow tones, reflecting the changing colours and increasing heat of one of America's most celebrated seasonal crops.

What makes Nike SB collaborations and themed colourways stand apart is the attention to detail. Rather than creating a colour palette for the sake of it, the Hatch Chile Dunk arrives during the real-world harvest season. Hatch chile harvesting begins in July, peaks throughout August, and continues into October, making this release feel perfectly timed.

Over the years, Nike SB has become known for some of the most creative storytelling in footwear. Halloween Dunks, 4/20 releases, Yuto Horigome's Matcha-inspired colourway, and now the Hatch Chile all demonstrate the brand's ability to transform everyday culture into memorable skate shoes.

Finished with premium leather construction and earthy colours that are easy to wear on and off the board, the Nike SB Dunk Low "Hatch Chile" is another standout addition to the Nike SB lineup.

The Nike SB Dunk Low "Hatch Chile" releases Saturday, August 1 at Overload Skate Shop. Available in-store on a first come, first served basis.
