Nike SB Dunk Low Pro QS ‘7-Eleven’ Sample | Size 9

Slated to release in 2020 alongside the Japan hosted Olympics, the pair pays homage to 7-Eleven - the convenience chain. Although originally an American company, 7-Eleven has more locations in Japan than any other country, and 2020 was the year that skateboarding would be introduced to the Olympic games. Unfortunately due to the postponement of the games for a year, this pair was never released at the retail level.

The pair, dressed with a red leather toebox, green side panels, and an orange heel panel, takes inspiration directly from the color scheme of the franchise. On the lateral heel of each shoe is an embossed 7-Eleven logo. The company branding is also found on the tongue. This sample pair comes with the hang tags still attached and coordinating Nike SB crew socks. There are also sample notes on the midsoles.

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials and whimsical, highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts — often with a sense of humor — through its Nike Dunks. From design inspiration that ranges from beer bottles, to guitar cases, to horror films, animals, arts and cities, the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
