Nike SB is set to revisit one of its most cherished narratives with the restock of the "Celtics" colorway in April 2024, exclusively in Europe.
The "Celtics" edition of the Nike SB Dunk Low draws inspiration from the legendary battles on the basketball court, explicitly nodding to Michael Jordan's unforgettable 63-point masterpiece against the Boston Celtics in 1986. This moment in sports history is captured through the sneaker's classic green and white color scheme, reminiscent of the iconic Celtics uniforms. The design features a crisp white base across the mid-panel and toe box, contrasted by vibrant "Classic Green" accents on the laces, heel counter, and outsole. Strategic placements of black on the collar, toe cap, and eyestay add depth and dimension, while the plush SB tongue and branding remind us of the shoe's roots in skateboarding.
Originally part of the "J-Pack," which saw the Dunk Low dressed in colorways that pay tribute to Michael Jordan's most iconic moments, the "Celtics" release stands out for its unique blend of sports history and streetwear sensibility. Unlike its predecessors, this iteration doesn't delve deep into the Air Jordan archives but instead celebrates a specific chapter of basketball lore, making it a significant piece for sneakerheads and sports fans.
As Europe gears up for the anticipated restock in April 2024, those of us elsewhere in the world will have to wait for an official confirmation on a local restock.
