Nike SB 'Electric Safari' Dunk Low

With a mother company deeply rooted in athletic heritage, Nike SB’s competitive contingent have plenty of pressure to perform at Paris’ Olympic Games, and the brand behind some of sporting’s most standout moments is giving them the tools to do so this summer.

“Standout” is the key word here, as each shoe in the new collection comes charged-up in an energetic “Electric Safari” colourway and even boasts an entirely new silhouette alongside the classic Dunk, Janoski, and Blazer High models, the PS8, which has been specifically primed for Olympic performance.

Paying homage to Nike’s earlier “Safari” models and their previous prestigious “Atmos” styles, the Electric Safari Pack is best distinguished by its speckled, moon surface-like patterned panels. Each silhouette utilises the detail differently, with the Blazer most sparing in its design and the Dunk representing the other end of the spectrum with significantly more surface area allocated to the unique pattern. 

The shoe features off-white suede panels covered with printed patterned leather layers and a sleek black Swoosh. Further black elements constitute the heel tab and outsole, and black stitching breaks up a lunar white midsole. Spritely orange detailing across the collar and heel tab stitching and electric blue laces add energy to the otherwise spacey design, creating a frenetic colourway that’s at home in the streets or on the Olympic stage.
