This Nike Dunk Low SB dropped in May of 2009, and although they sport a pretty nice color scheme they didn't receive the level of fanfare enjoyed by many other Dunk Low SB's. These kicks have been nicknamed the Patagonia because of their similarities to the Patagonia's brand logo color scheme. They feature a navy suede upper with a black leather mid panel and a light grey toe box and tongue. Additional accents are provided by a royal blue swoosh and some orange accents around the tongue with an extra set of orange laces. These flew under the radar when they released.
