The Rayssa Leal x Nike SB Dunk Ushers in a New Era of Skate Style

Article updated 12/12/23: As builds for 2024 and leaks have arrived of yet another Dunk SB banger in the form of the "Pastoral Print," @Yankeekicks has now treated us to an on-foot look at the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low Rayassa Leal.

Flaunting exactly the same makeup as the initial leaks, these latest photos give us a detailed preview of what this textured pair has on offer. While there aren't many key differences to shout about, it is worth noting that the Swoosh on the lateral and medial walls seems to also sport a textured leather finish.

There's doubt this pair are going to be one of the bigger releases of Spring 2023, so be sure to keep it locked in right here for all the latest. Keep reading for the original article below!

As if having an Olympic silver medal at 15 years old wasn't cool enough, now Rayssa Leal is set to get her own collaborative Nike SB Dunk. Following leaks earlier in the year, official images of this upcoming silhouette have now landed, and by all accounts, it's unique.

For those unfamiliar with Rayssa Leal, she is a fifteen-year-old skateboarder hailing from Brazil. After going viral at age 7 for her skills, Rayssa went on to become the youngest Olympic medalist in 85 years when she earned a silver medal at the 2020 games.

Now, in celebration of all things skateboarding, Nike x Rayssa have come together to put their own twist on the ever-popular SB Dunk. At first glance, there's quite a lot to take in about this model. What looks to be beige suede and white leather makes up the upper, with the opposing layers flaunting a unique pattern.

Elsewhere, Nike's Swoosh features in both a navy and purple hue on either side of the shoe, with the navy extending to the collar and the purple to an "R" for Rayssa at the heel. To put a final stamp on this pair, a purple patch sits atop each tongue, proudly rocking a "Rayssa's Dunk" text imprint.

It's unclear when exactly the Rayssa Leal x Nike SB Dunk Low will land, but we're expecting it to be in time for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games next year. Up next, we might have to wait a little while for the Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack.
