Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'Som Tum'
A love letter to Thai culture, timed for Songkran. The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'Som Tum' draws inspiration from Thailand's iconic papaya salad dish — balancing texture, detail, and everyday function in a way that feels as considered as the dish itself. Released to coincide with Songkran Thai New Year celebrations, every element of this Dunk tells a story rooted in Thai food culture and heritage.
Design Story
A soft suede upper is paired with rattan-style textile underlays that echo the hand-woven kratip baskets used to serve sticky rice, adding subtle depth through texture. Suede Swooshes and a debossed, stitched silver heel panel keep the look refined, while interchangeable laces let you switch things up. Underfoot, printed insole artwork draws from traditional Thai rice bags, and the Zoom Air heel unit features a lotus flower reference for a quieter nod to Thai heritage.
