While collaborations and special make-ups command the most hype and highest grey market prices, many coveted looks for the Nike SB Dunk came from a different formula. As Beaverton became institutionally clued to the model’s cult following among skaters, they followed a straightforward business plan. Releasing accessible looks to cater to that market, editions like the “Shark,” the “Vamp,” or “Wheat” are still objects of fascination despite staid overall palettes.

In the modern day, those collaborative shoes and heavy narrative releases are the bulk of Nike SB Dunk releases we get. However, the just-emerged “Aluminum” colorway bucks that trend and returns truer to the silhouette’s roots. It’s an all-suede build with the beloved fat tongue, creating an icy arrangement with a “Summit White” Swoosh, “Aluminum” upper overlays, and a foundation of black nubuck. Part of what makes this release intriguing is the absence of a specific detail, though, with the Orange Label nod to skate shops entirely left off. It separates this mainline SB Dunk Low drop from a crop of others we’ve recently seen, including the “Saturn Gold” and “Cool Grey” colorways.

Expect the Nike SB Dunk Low “Aluminum” to land via Nike.com in 2025, carrying a $115 MSRP upon arrival. Scroll ahead for a gallery of official images, and check in to our Sneaker Release Dates page as we enter the new year for any additional info.
