Brew & Biscuits: The Story Behind the NOTE Manchester x Nike SB Dunk Low

The tea is finally brewing for Manchester’s own. After over 25 years as a cornerstone of the UK skate scene, NOTE Manchester is getting its first official Nike collaboration: the Nike SB Dunk Low "Brew & Biscuits".

Slated for a Spring 2026 release, the collaboration pays homage to a quintessential British ritual: the afternoon snack. Detailed shots recently surfaced via @kcscowboys1977, revealing a palette that mimics the inviting tones of a perfectly steeped cuppa and a digestive biscuit.

High-Grain Details

The design is heavy on thematic storytelling, featuring a buttery Flax brown suede upper sitting atop a crisp white sole unit. Beyond the warm colorway, several unique features cement this pair as a cultural deep cut:

• Interchangeable Swooshes: Wearers can swap between a solid brown "croc-style" swoosh or a pink grid-patterned option.
• Biscuit Patterning: The classic flat laces and the inner lining are printed with an actual biscuit texture.
• The "Mug Ring": A visceral detail on the outsole mirrors the brown ring left behind by a hot mug of tea on a table.
• Hidden Guides: Under the tongue, you'll find a "Strength of Brew" guide alongside a "Selection of Biscuits" visual sampler.

Heritage and Hype

While NOTE Manchester might be hyper-local, their influence is undeniable. Since opening in the Northern Quarter in 1999—pre-dating the official stamp of Nike’s SB division—they have been a reliable source for gear and a strong proponent of the Orange Label program.

The NOTE x Nike SB Dunk Low is expected to drop for approximately $130 (£120). While a worldwide release is anticipated, stay tuned for official confirmation as we approach the spring launch window.
