Let me just start out by saying if you're a fan of Nike SB Dunks, you should be subscribed to David Bluetile's YouTube page. His breakdown videos are some of our absolute favorites, and his shop, Bluetile Skateboards, is easily one of the dopest in South Carolina.
With that said, David recently did a deep dive into the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low Pro x Bronx Girls Skate in Black and Challenge-Red ahead of its release, giving folks a proper look at what makes this pair so sought after. Press play and dive in.
This collaboration is way more than just another Dunk drop. It’s something to celebrate.
Mel Ramirez and Kava Vasquez have been holding down Bronx Girls Skate for years, pushing to make skateboarding more welcoming and accessible for girls and women across NYC. And to say this shoe is well-deserved would be quite an understatement. So stoked to see this one come to life.
“The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived!” Bronx Girls wrote on Instagram. “Come celebrate Bronx Girls Skate as we make NYC history with the first ever Nike SB Dunk collaboration made by and for The Bronx.”
Boom! You know Bronx Girls Skate is going to celebrate the Dunk in style. Peep the IG post below for all the info. If you’re in or around New York on January 24, this should be a no-brainer. Everyone else, hit your local and get the scoop.

About the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro x Bronx Girls Skate
Created in 2020 by Mel Ramirez and Kava Vasquez to give the thriving women’s skate scene at River Avenue Skate Park their gold, Bronx Girls Skate’s grassroots approach continues to carve out new spaces throughout the city.
For their first collaboration with Nike SB, the Bronx Girls Skate Dunk Low reinterprets the iconic colors of NYC transit with an Uptown homage to the Boogie Down. Keeping it classic with a foundational black and white colorway, the Bronx Girls Skate Dunk Low is constructed with a luxe Stingray texture pebbled leather and white Swoosh.
Pulling in color hits from the NYC train lines they use to navigate the city, the overlays feature green, orange, and red edge highlights with three coordinated lace options. The semi-translucent outsole continues the subway theme with custom art, BXGS graffiti lettering, and “The Bronx, The World” inscriptions on the left and right outsole heels. BX all day, the Bronx Girls Skate Dunk features door knocker earring-inspired NY heel jewelry, coordinated nameplate dubraes and a poetic send-off penned by Kava and Mel on the sockliner art.
