Crafted in partnership with the Shanghai-based skate shop, the Fly Streetwear x Nike Dunk Low Pro SB is an homage to the past. Inspired by the white jade orchid flowers sold on the streets of Shanghai, rope laces secure the white leather upper, contrasted by blue suede overlays (inspired by cloth that line the baskets to make the flowers more eye-catching) and a Nike-branded heel tab in lime green suede (representing the flower’s stalks). A jade orchid earring graphic on the lateral heel is complemented by a flowery embroidered Swoosh. Padded tongues are embellished with mismatched woven tags marked with Fly Streetwear and Nike SB branding. The low-top is mounted on a rubber cupsole, featuring vintage off-white sidewalls and a white rubber outsole.

Description
The Fly Streetwear x Dunk Low Pro SB ‘Gardenia’ is a standout collaboration between Nike SB and Fly Streetwear, a Chinese skate brand that has gained recognition for its unique design approach and cultural influence. Released in 2021, this Dunk Low Pro SB sneaker combines the signature Dunk silhouette with elements inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics, incorporating themes of nature, culture, and heritage.
Key Features:
- Colorway: The ‘Gardenia’ colorway features a soft pastel and earth-toned palette, with a primary focus on off-white, cream, and light green. These shades reflect the inspiration drawn from nature, particularly the gardenia flower, which symbolizes purity and beauty. The subtle pastel tones give the sneaker a clean, elegant appearance, making it both eye-catching and versatile.
- Upper: The upper of the Dunk Low Pro SB ‘Gardenia’ is crafted using premium leather and suede. The cream leather covers the majority of the shoe, while light green suede is used for the overlays around the toe box, side panels, and heel. The suede adds a rich texture that complements the smooth leather, elevating the overall look of the sneaker.
- Swoosh and Branding: The Nike Swoosh is kept minimal, crafted in a soft cream color that blends seamlessly with the upper. The Fly Streetwear branding appears subtly on the heel, while the SB logo is placed on the tongue tag. These branding details highlight the collaboration while maintaining a clean and refined aesthetic.
- Cultural Influences: The ‘Gardenia’ design is rooted in Chinese culture and the natural world. The gardenia flower, known for its delicate beauty, serves as a symbol of the partnership between Nike SB and Fly Streetwear. This influence is reflected in the choice of color palette, which evokes a serene, nature-inspired vibe.
- Midsole & Outsole: The midsole is white, creating a sharp contrast to the pastel tones of the upper. The gum rubber outsole adds a timeless Dunk feature, ensuring both durability and grip for skateboarders while enhancing the shoe’s vintage aesthetic.
- Insole: The insole of the Dunk Low Pro SB ‘Gardenia’ features custom graphics, potentially referencing the gardenia flower or incorporating elements from Fly Streetwear’s design language. This adds a personalized touch that ties the shoe’s cultural theme together.
- Lacing: The sneaker comes with cream-colored laces, contributing to the clean and cohesive look. Additional lace options, such as light green laces, may be included, allowing wearers to customize the sneaker further.
