Usually inspired by the history and culture of skateboarding, this famous silhouette gets a sporty update with the Paul Rodriguez x Nike SB Dunk High. Designed as an ode to Mexico’s love of boxing, it's meant to be worn both on the half pipe and in the ring.

Subtle details are what really bring this sneaker to life. Presented in a green, red and white colour palette to mimic the shades of Mexico’s flag, the padded ankle is reminiscent of that usually found on traditional boxing shoes. The waffle tread delivers optimised grip so you don’t have to worry about slips when you’re sparring and Paul Rodriguez’s signature touch comes in the form of a gold patch to the tongue and laces.

But why has a professional skateboarder made boxing-inspired sneakers you ask? Well, according to Rodriguez himself, he would have taken up the sport if he hadn’t have opted for skating instead. And so, the Paul Rodriguez x Nike SB Dunk High celebrates the sport he’s always loved.

Rumoured to drop later this month on the 18th January, set your alarms, get ready to cop the Paul Rodriguez x Nike SB Dunk High, reserve a bag and get swinging!
