The Nike SB Dunk Low Medicom Toy, a product of a celebrated partnership, materialized on August 22, 2020, through Medicom Toy channels, and subsequently on August 25, 2020, via a wider release on Nike SNKRS. This collaboration represents the eighth iteration between Nike SB and the renowned Japanese collectible figure company, Medicom Toy, solidifying their shared legacy within the realms of skateboarding, art, and streetwear.
Designed for both skateboarding and casual wear, the SB Dunk Low Medicom Toy provides a firm feel. Its construction, with a focus on durable materials like pony hair, hairy textile, and a robust rubber outsole, ensures both performance and longevity. The inclusion of a Zoom Air unit in the heel offers cushioning, while the circular traction pattern of the outsole provides grip, making it suitable for various activities.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Medicom Toy has significantly impacted the landscape of sneaker culture. Its design, inspired by Medicom Toy's BE@RBRICK figures, has resonated deeply within the art and collectible community. The collaboration's success is a testament to the influence of figures like Hiroshi Fujiwara, whose work with Fragment Design has elevated the Dunk's status. The Medicom Toy partnership further solidified the Dunk's position as a coveted item, alongside the impact of streetwear icons like NIGO, who have shaped the perception of collaborative sneakers. This model, released in August 2020, stands as a symbol of the enduring appeal of the Dunk silhouette.
The aesthetic of the SB Dunk Low Medicom Toy is defined by its full black hairy textile, or pony hair, upper. The design incorporates a white, or cream, hairy heel tab, lending a distinctive texture. Further detailing includes the Medicom Toy '@' logo, embroidered on the heel and featured on the tongue tag, completed by gold-tipped laces and BE@RBRICK branding on the insoles, all atop a classic Dunk Low sole with a Zoom Air unit in the heel.
